Students voted in the Spring of 2020 to pay a fee of $0.70 per credit that goes towards this program. Originally intended to support a food bank service and a student job to manage the service, this program was amended in 2020 to operate as an emergency grocery card program noting the limitations of a functioning food bank on campus amidst COVID-19 precautions. This fund is intended to support short-term, emergency needs and all students who apply will be connected with support systems in the Durham region to address any long-term needs as required.

Only undergraduate students and post graduate degree seeking students with a home location of Durham campus are eligible to apply. Students may apply for the Grocery Assistance Fund once per semester.

This bursary is OPENED UNTIL DECEMBER 7TH, 2023. Due to the large demand we have received for our bursaries, applications for the bursaries will only be open for the first week (1st - 7th) of each month. All applications will be reviewed after the 7th of each month and all applicants will be contacted within 2 - 3 business days.
* The maximum amount an individual can receive from all the bursaries is $500 for each calendar year.
We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishnaabeg. We offer our gratitude to the First Nations for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings. ​
