2010/11 Grants
The Student Union Project Grant applications for OCAD students are now available.
Every year the OCAD Student Union requests grant proposals from OCAD Students. Our Grant Committee reviews all submissions and decides how to allocate funding. In the past, we have funded things such as group exhibitions, student publications and Student Group activities. The OCAD Student Union is providing a workshop for students to learn effective grant writing tips from external guest speakers. Each of our speakers is from an interesting background within the arts and design, and offers a breadth of knowledge for students to consider when writing a grant proposal.
