UCC Alumni Fund Grant 2026

Got an idea to enhance student life at UCC? The UCC Alumni Fund Grant Applications for 2026 are now officially open, offering students and campus groups a valuable opportunity to turn creative ideas into real, impactful projects.

Each year, alumni funding helps bring innovative student initiatives to life across campus. Previous grants have supported everything from therapy and support dog initiatives to new study pods, sustainability projects, wellbeing supports, and other practical improvements that make day-to-day student life better. These projects all began with simple ideas from students who wanted to make a positive difference in their community.

If you have a concept that could improve student experience, campus sustainability, inclusion, wellbeing, or academic life, this is your chance to make it happen. Funding is designed to empower students to lead change, try new approaches, and create lasting benefits for the wider UCC community.

Applications are open now and must be submitted by March 3rd via the link in our Instagram bio.
