The Benefits of the USESF

The USESF strengthens student groups.

More funds available means that student groups and discipline societies can broaden their goals, achieve larger things, and become even more competitive.

  • Better materials, technology, and investment for project builds
  • Reimbursment travel to competitions, events, and conferences
  • Larger budget for hosting events (fancier venues, inviting special guests, etc.)
  • Starting new student groups and societies

The USESF supports individuals.

However, you don't need to be involved in extracurriculars or student leadership to benefit from the fund. The USESF is accessible and unbiased towards individual applications, and so any student can utilize it.

  • Free/affordable tutoring and academic aid
  • Reimbursement for travel costs to engineering conferences and delegate fees
  • Valuable professional networking opportunities
  • Anything else that would support you in your academic and professional development as a uSask engineer

The USESF can change our college.

As the interest begins to build, future engineering students could use the USESF to:

  • Refurbish student lounges, computer labs, the library, and the general college
  • Hire more academic advisors, mental health staff, professors, and support staff
  • Strengthen the reputation of uSask engineering
