Who can apply?
UBC teaching faculty or instructors are invited to apply for up to $5,000 per course for the 2018/2019 academic year. The funding is intended to cover:
- Student travel to remote locations
- Student accommodation in rural locations
- Community events related to student projects – e.g. catering or venues for consultation events or workshops
- Stipends for community partners who offer their time to support the student projects
- Project supplies
- Other costs directly related to the remote CEL collaborations
Please note that only economy standard travel and accommodation will be funded. Funds are not intended for capital investments such as the purchase of teleconferencing equipment. Students who benefit from this funding will be expected to provide a short report, story, or video describing their experience working with a rural community partner.
