Funding Opportunities

Whether you're looking to fund an on-campus event, attend a conference, or have another proposal for a special project, Laurier offers extra-curricular funding opportunities to help realize your goals and enhance your student experience. 

Check out some of the available opportunities based on your project or interests.

Campus Experience Fund

The Campus Experience Fund through the Dean of Students Office supports individual students or groups on campus looking to participate in extra-curriculars or educational activities that will positively contribute to their time at Laurier or create a lasting impact for other Laurier students. This can include attending conferences, launching a student-led initiative, inviting guest speakers, participating in competitions, and more.

Please review all application criteria and timelines below. Applications that do not meet the criteria or are submitted during the wrong period will not be considered. 

The Campus Experience Fund is now closed for the 2024-2025 academic year and will re-open in Fall 2025. 

Please note the previously mentioned Student Horizon Fund and Campus Experience Fund have been combined in this process.  Please connect with Megan Csanits, Projects & Operations Coordinator at mcsanits@wlu.ca for any questions or additional information. 

Student Life Levy

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.

Sustainable Hawk Fund

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.

Laurier Startup Fund

Want real-life investment experience? The Laurier Startup Fund provides Lazaridis School students with the opportunity to participate in investment opportunities, bridging the gap between your studies and your career.
