Student Space Fund

The Student Space Fund is a fund composed of fees paid by engineering undergraduate students. It is meant to be a sustainable resource for general improvements of the undergraduate space at McGill as well as to fund larger renovations projects.
The fund is separate in two accounts: the Short Term and Long Term accounts. The Short Term account is meant for smaller purchase of single items (< 2000$) and the Long Term account is aimed at significant projects and renovations (> 5000$), envisioned for the future.

Allocation

Short Term

The Short Term account is allocated twice a year through an application process sent out by the Funds Director, usually around October for the Fall Semester and February for the Winter Semester.

Long Term

For the Long Term account, council must approve of the funding by motion; thus allocation is available all year around. In order for the motion to be entertained, it must be introduced one council in advance.
During summer time, a special committee is setup to allow the executive committee to pass motions, as EUS council does not meet in this time.
