| Description | In 2009, VIPIRG is launching a new grants program for students and members of the greater Victoria community. Grants of up to $1000 are awarded to collectives or individual students.
The program funds projects aimed at creating positive change in the community through direct student and community engagement in events, research and campaigns around social justice issues. Projects could include a research paper, event, workshop, publication, multi-media presentation or performance. All projects must increase knowledge, awareness, and dialogue on a given topic, with an emphasis on poverty – the particular focus of VIPIRG’s work over the next three years. Grants for Collectives Please note: The Grants Committee will award grants to collectives twice this year. If you're collective is unable to submit an application in time for the first deadline this fall, please apply in the spring. (Collectives may also be made up of students, but individual students must apply for the Grants for Students Program). First run deadline: application due November 30, 2009. Second run deadline: application due March 1, 2010. Grants for Students Please note: The Grants Committee will only award grants to individual students in our fall application process. Grants for Students deadline: November 30, 2009. |
