At the University of Waterloo, we believe in the potential of every Black student.
With the establishment of the Black Student Opportunities Fund, students can thrive in an environment that recognizes their unlimited potential and provides them with the opportunities they deserve.
The Fund addresses the impacts of systemic racism by supporting the work of the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Anti-racism through special projects, meeting unforeseen needs, and enhancing the teaching and learning environment for current and future Black students.
Donations to the Fund will cover expenses related to (but not limited to) supporting student well-being and transitions, enhancing student success and emergency supports, and expanding outreach and recruitment efforts.
Together with you, we will ensure the needs of our Black students are heard, understood, and prioritized. Thank you for your support.
