Empowerment Grant

The Vancouver School of Economics Undergraduate Society is committed to proactively take actions to tackle racial injustice and underrepresentation of the Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities present in Economics and our society as a whole. Given the current and always present manifestations of hate and injustice towards certain ethical and racial groups, VSEUS is glad to announce the creation of the new VSEUS Empowerment Grant.

​

The VSEUS Empowerment Grant seeks to encourage initiatives and events run by self-identified minority students or associate bodies representing minority groups that provide demonstrable support for minority communities through (but not limited to):

  • Increasing awareness of extra difficulties suffered because of race and ethnicity

  • Undertaking special projects to empower marginalized groups

  • Providing better support for marginalized groups

  • Fighting racial and ethnic injustice

  • Professional or academic development of students from marginalized communities
