Community-University Engagement Support Fund

The 2024/25 Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) Fund is now open. Get up to $25,000 to support community-university partnerships that benefit communities across the province and advance collaborative research, teaching and learning.

The fund is open to BC-based community partners and UBC students, faculty and staff. Interested applicants are invited to submit a Notice of Intent by September 27, 2024.

Paid directly to community partners, CUES funding removes financial barriers and prioritizes reciprocal, inclusive engagement so all communities — especially those that have been and continue to be underserved, marginalized or excluded — can benefit. This year, we have a total of $700,000 to fund up to 28 community-university projects.
