Alumni Association Grants

Alumni and student-led groups of the Queen's community who have an idea for an innovative program, event, or project that enriches the university community may qualify for special project funding from the Queen's University Alumni Association (QUAA). Alumni Association Grants are normally for a few hundred dollars but can go as high as $2,000.

As we continue to celebrate the 2025-26 Alumni Association Grant Recipients, the QUAA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the opening of the 2026-27 application process.

You can directly support student and alumni-led initiatives that align with the QUAA mission “to reach out and foster a lifelong association with Queen's, to engage our members in the life and work of the university, and to serve the alumni community in all its diversity” by making a donation to the QUAA Grants. Every dollar of your donation will assist the QUAA Board of Directors in providing more funding to deserving groups and initiatives each year.

If you have questions, please contact the QUAA Board of Directors.
