Funding is intended to enhance the student experience through extra-curricular or co-curricular activities that contribute meaningfully to student life at Laurier. This may include initiatives such as attending or supporting student participation in conferences, launching student-led projects, hosting guest speakers, organizing case competitions, and more.

The Student Life Levy (SLL) was initiated to support projects that couldn’t otherwise happen! Specifically, the SLL looks to support projects that improve the lives of Laurier students. This includes projects that provide increased opportunity to engage in activities leading to improved personal health and wellness, or increased opportunity for you to engage with other students and your environment in a culture of learning, outside of physical classroom space.
The Sustainability Office dedicates up to $30,000 annually to help grow sustainability ideas that benefit the Laurier community (including you) through the Sustainable Hawk Fund (SHF). We want to leverage Laurier’s entrepreneurial and community spirit by engaging students such as yourself, faculty and staff to integrate sustainability practices into all aspects of student life at Laurier.
