This term, WEEF had a whopping $189 935.19 in requested funding with $60 000 to allocate. WEEF Funding Council, which is comprised of representatives from each class, met in the last week of June to listen to presentations and make the tough decisions on how to allocate the available funding. Thank you to all of the class representatives for your participation in this process. The right questions were asked and we were able to make allocations that maximized benefits to engineering undergrads.
The allocations that were decided on by Funding Council are available in the table below. These numbers will be finalized once they are approved by the WEEF Board of Directors at our July meeting. A big thank you goes out to all of the student groups and department members who submitted proposals for funding. You all have the best interests of UW Engineering in mind, and we thank you for this. We’re sure that this term’s allocations will have a substantial impact on students, and we encourage all groups who received funding to make your purchases promptly to ensure that WEEF’s impact will be felt by students as soon as possible.

As always, questions, comments and feedback are welcome at weef@engmail.uwaterloo.ca.
