What is the Sustainability Fund?

Each semester there is a pool of about $50,000 for student-led sustainability projects!

Where does it come from?

In 2006, students voted to increase their fees by $5/semester to support the creation of the AS Sustainability Program and Fund.

How much can I get?

Students can apply for up to $5,000 in each project proposal.

How do I apply?

1. Attend a workshop (There are 4 per semester)
2. Submit your proposal and collaboration forms
