The Student Initiatives Fund is accepting applications !
The GHP Student Global Health Initiatives Fund supports global health activities and events that are led by 91社区 students and targeted towards 91社区 students. For an activity to be considered for funding, it must be open or available to all 91社区 students. There is no limit to the number of student-run organizations that can apply, however funds are limited. Funding decisions are subject to the availability of funds, and will be made based on the likelihood of the proposed activity to benefit the student community and to contribute towards improving global health. Priority will be given to activities or events that involve collaboration between multiple 91社区 student run-organizations.聽
Applications must be submitted at least 6 weeks prior to the activity or event date.聽
Please note: Payment processing time is 4-6 weeks. Unless an application is submitted well in advance of an activity/event, applicants should not expect to receive funds prior to the activity/event taking place.
If you have any questions, please reach out to studentaffairsghp.med [at] mcgill.ca
Restrictions:
- GHP will not consider multiple requests for the same activity.
- No retroactive funding requests will be accepted.聽
- A maximum of $700 will be considered for each activity.
- Students must complete the application process each year to renew previously funded activities.

Requirements of funding recipients:
