STUDENT INITIATIVE FUND
Extracurricular opportunities often cost money, but we believe that money should not stand as a barrier to useful opportunities that will enrich your education. The Student Initiative Fund (SIF) is a program run by the MHS to help Humanities students get involved in academic-enriching experiences and grow as individuals. The SIF helps cover the costs associated with academic-related extracurricular opportunities to ensure that Humanities students interested in pursuing self-growth opportunities are able to overcome financial barriers by funding them with up to $275.
STUDENT INITIATIVE FUND GUIDELINES
Follow these easy tips to ensure that your application to receive funding gets approved:
The Student Initiative Fund applies only to members of the McMaster Humanities Society (a.k.a. all undergraduate full-time Humanities students).
You cannot request an amount larger than $275 from the Student Initiative Fund.
The Student Initiative Fund does not cover tuition, courseware/textbook costs, co-op or practicum fees, or preparatory course fees.
The SIF can only be used towards academic-related extracurricular activities that compliment your education in the Humanities.
If you meet the above criteria, download the SIF application to your computer as a Word document and complete!
Supporting documentation (photos of receipts) for each component of your funding request must be submitted with your application. Applications without such documentation will not be reviewed.
Lastly, submit your application and supporting documentation by email to mhs.vpacademic@gmail.com.
