Applying for Semester Grants 

Applying for Semester Grants

Affiliated and registered USU clubs are eligible to apply and receive grants from the USU, including a Semester Grant once per semester. Applications can be submitted through MyUSU, following the instructions in the 2026 Finance Handbook.


To be eligible to receive a grant, clubs need to be registered and have completed their acquittal for previous years/semesters.


Applications for Semester Grants open after each Semester begins and generally close before census date of a given semester. Deadline are listed on your Club calendar and through the weekly executive newsletter.


As with all grant funding, Clubs are required to complete an acquittal for Semester Grants received. 

If this grant is received in semester 1, a Club must claim at least one Payment Request towards it before the Club can receive funding again in semester 2.


Unclaimed funds at the end of the year/semester 2 must be returned, consistent with the 2026 Finance Handbook.


Please email [email protected] for further enquiries.

USU acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, upon whose stolen land which we operate, gather as employees and live. We recognise this land was never terra nullius — the land belonging to these peoples was never ceded, given up, bought or sold. We pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging, and we extend this acknowledgement to any other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
