UQAM launches 'Nourrir les ambitions' campaign to raise $200,000 for student emergency aid
On October 6, 2026, UQAM and its foundation launched the 'Nourrir les ambitions' campaign to collect $200,000 to bolster the Student Aid Fund. Donations will increase capacity to provide one‑time financial support to students facing unexpected situations that threaten their studies.
UQAM announced an institutional philanthropic campaign to strengthen its Student Aid Fund, with a $200,000 fundraising target. The collected funds are intended to enable timely, one‑off assistance — for instance in cases of lost income, essential unexpected expenses, or threats to housing — so that temporary crises do not derail a student’s academic progress. The initiative calls on the UQAM community to contribute and expand the fund’s ability to respond quickly to students in unforeseen financial or personal difficulty.
