All UBC undergraduate and graduate students (except doctoral) are eligible for the Chapman and Innovation Grants.
Projects are eligible for up-to $10,000 with 3-5 projects funded each year. Students do not need to apply for the full amount if another amount is more appropriate for their project needs. Projects should be completed no later than August 31 of the year funded.
The Chapman and Innovation Grants are designed to help students work with a community partner to test a new idea and take initiative in tackling issues affecting under-represented populations in their local communities. We encourage students and community partners to be innovative in their thinking and to test new ideas without the fear of failing. In fact, the Chapman and Innovation Grants are specifically designed to help students and community partners think imaginatively, constructively, and to push boundaries - without concern for everything going right - as we believe the best learning often comes from simply trying.
Note: Only undergraduate and master’s degree students are eligible for the C2C Grant at this time.
Projects that include off-campus activities, workshops, community-meetings, initiatives, community events, forums, educational, health, environmental or cultural-based projects.
Projects with a Community-Partner who is a registered charity, society, cooperative, non-profit or public sector, community organization, First Nation, school, municipal, federal or provincial government office.
