VIU Student Impact Projects are designed to provide meaningful, skill-building opportunities for VIU students while supporting faculties in completing short-term projects. Funded through the VIU Foundation, the program emphasizes academic engagement and professional development for eligible students.
Students will receive awards for their project involvement. The awards will be deposited directly to the student’s account. Deposits will happen twice per semester, with 50% of the award deposited mid-semester and the remainder deposited at the end of semester. Please see below for award amounts per project hours and anticipated average hours per week.
