Quality Money Program

The Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) of the University of Calgary is committed to enhancing the student experience. Quality Money initiatives and grants are one way that the GSA returns to the student community. Emphasis is placed upon proposals which impact the majority of students, promote multidisciplinary interactions, and integrate sustainable initiatives.
Quality Money applications are processed on a competitive first-come first-served basis.
Graduate students as well as university partners are eligible to submit applications for Quality Money. Projects that have already finished are not eligible for Quality Money.
Please visit the Quality Money Program web page for more information about intakes, eligibility, and past projects.
