Student Activation Fund

Bringing projects to life

UNSW is committed to fostering a campus culture that promotes equity, diversity and inclusion.

The Student Activation Fund aims to champion and further EDI's values and mission on campus, through accessible funding for student-led projects.

This is an opportunity for UNSW students to promote equity, diversity and inclusion throughout our community. The fund is a platform to express, share and celebrate the diversity of our community by providing an opportunity to bring ideas, events and activations to life. 

Projects can address issues such as inclusion, belonging, global and environmental sustainability.

Funds are available now and we're looking forward to seeing your ideas.
