Application

VSEUS offers two types of grants:

Individual students are eligible for up to $300 in funding or 50% of the relevant fee, whichever is less. We will take all aspects of your applications into account to determine the most appropriate funding needs. Grants will now be approved at the end of each academic semester, following a comprehensive review of all applications by the VSEUS council. This strategic shift will enable VSEUS to thoroughly assess each applicant's qualifications and allocate funds based on merit.

 

The applications for fall term are due by November 22nd 2024, 11:59 pm PST. The grant allocation will be based on the quality of your application, the cause and need of financial aid. The applications this term are set to be reviewed on November 28th 2024 by the VSEUS Council.

 

Applicants will then be notified via email about the decision made on their application.

Student Initiatives and Development

It also supports students who wish to develop economics-related initiatives but lack the necessary funding to bring their ideas to life
