How to bring your idea to life with Student Life Grants

Lead the way with ideas that strengthen and support our community

Student Life Grants provide funding and support for students to create innovative co-curricular projects that build a sense of community.

Have an idea for an event, activity or project that seeks to enrich campus life and strengthen our community? Apply for a Student Life Grant before 9 am Thursday 3 November for the opportunity to bring your idea to life.

You can apply as an individual or a group to access up to $3000 of funding and development support for project ideas that support our student community in the areas of social activities and mentoring, professional development, community contribution and academic research.
