UBC students are invited to apply to the Strategic Equity & Anti-Racism (StEAR) Enhancement Fund — Student stream. A total of $100,000 is available to support student-led initiatives that advance UBC’s equity and anti-racism priorities across UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan. Applicants may request $500–$10,000 per initiative.
The call for student applications runs October 13–November 9, 2025. Eligible projects include events, programs, and activities that align with one or more themes such as racial equity, disability equity, gender and 2SLGBTQIA+ equity, and other human rights grounds as defined in UBC Policy SC7: Discrimination.
Those seeking funding for faculty- and staff-led projects can apply through the separate faculty & staff stream (Round 2 runs January 12 – February 8, 2026).
