APIRG is a student-run, student-funded non-profit organization dedicated to research, education, advocacy, and action in the public interest. APIRG exists to provide students with resources to be active citizens.

The Microgrant Funding Stream exists to provide support to smaller scale events, projects, and research put on by University of Alberta Undergraduate students. Applications are funded to a maximum of $150. It is designed to assist with costs like food, bus tickets, printing, and other small scale event, project, or research needs.
Applicants who are already receiving Event/Project/Research Funding or Working Group Funding are not eligible for Microgrant funding.

There is no deadline for submission. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and reviewed by the Board of Directors in the order received. 50% of available grants will be distributed in the Fall Semester and 50% in the Winter Semester. Please contact apirg@ualberta.ca if you have questions as to the availability of the grant.
