  • All subsidy applicants must demonstrate some form of financial hardship in all cases (i.e. show proof of a student loan, private loan, or personal debt).
  • Applicants must provide adequate proof for their subsidy claim in all cases.
  • U-PASS ONLY: Applicants accepted in Winter Term 1 must reapply to be subsidized in Winter Term 2; all Winter subsidy recipients must reapply for the Summer Term subsidy.

Successful applicants will be awarded either a a partial ($70) U-Pass subsidy, a full U-Pass subsidy ($140), a SUB Renewal subsidy ($70), and/or an AMS fee subsidy ($91.65).

Please include relevant documentation along with your application and proof of financial hardship.
