The Student Initiative Fund ([[MESC]] Funding) is available for almost any student initiative that involves undergraduate or graduate students in the faculty of engineering.

==Departments==

Departmental administrators may have funds available for student projects. This varies greatly between departments, and departmental societies are generally the ones most likely to be able to benefit. Departmental representatives should approach their departmental chair (or potentially other officials in the department) about initiatives which will benefit students from that department, and see if the department is willing to make any contributions. <br>
