Step 1: Select the Appropriate Application

The first step in the grant application process is to choose the appropriate application for the activity you would like funding for. If you are unsure about which application would be most appropriate for your activity you can check out a table of the application types on the main grant page.  There are three types of grant applications: the Conference Attendance Application, the Event Application,  and the Educational Activity Application.

Step 2: Complete the Application Form

Once you have selected the appropriate application for your activity, you must complete the application. Please ensure that you answer all questions on the application in detail and in accordance with the guidelines for the particular application you’re submitting. You can find the principles and guidelines for the application you are submitting at the top of each application page.

Step 3: Submit the Application

Once you have completed your application you must submit it in accordance with the application submission deadlines. You can find the submission deadlines on the Deadlines page.

Step 4: Application Review

Once your application has been submitted it will be reviewed to ensure it is complete and that your application is eligible for funding. Incomplete or unsatisfactory applications will be returned to you in order to allow you to provide further details. Returned applications will be automatically moved to the following review deadline.

Step 5: Services Committee Decision

If your application has been reviewed as is deemed eligible for funding it will be sent to the TRUSU Services Committee for a final decision. The primary applicant must attend the meeting in order to present your application and answer any questions. If the primary applicant is not in attendance your application will be postponed until the next Services Committee meeting. You will be contacted via email with a reminder of the meeting date and time when your application will appear. You may also find the date and time of the Services Committee meeting that corresponds with your submission deadline on the Deadlines Page .

Step 6: Reimbursement

All grant funding is provided based on the submission of receipts for pre-approved expenses. If your application is approved for funding you will receive an email outlining the reimbursement procedures to access your grant which can also be found online here.
