A Shout Out

To the AMS, and Fincom ^[1] in particular for helping fund my trip to Ottawa to attend the CIS AGM.

You can read the articles I wrote about it here ^[2] and here ^[3].

If you are hoping to go to a conference, event, or have a special project in mind, I strongly encourage you to apply for one of their Student Initiatives Fund grants ^[4] (which is what I got).

If you are an AMS club looking to do something special, they also have an option for you: the Clubs Benefit Fund ^[5].

Finally, another good funding option they have is the Innovative Projects Fund ^[6], which exists to provide seed money for new projects of direct benefit to students.

I am a huge AMS fan and it’s not only because they just gave me money. It is easy to criticize them when they make mistakes, but in the end it is full of great people who do good things, and UBC students are definitely better off for it.
