How do I donate my APEA to the URFA stu­dent bur­saries? (U of R only)

Did you know if you have unused APEA funds, you can donate them to the URFA stu­dent bur­saries, instead of let­ting them lapse?

The best way to donate your APEA funds is to fill out the APEA Dona­tion Form at APEA Dona­tion Form.

In the pur­pose” box, click oth­er’, and in the com­ments” box, you may indi­cate the amount and spe­cif­ic bur­sary you want to donate to.

URFA has three bur­saries — learn more about them by click­ing here.

I still have questions.

You can con­tact the URFA office at any time at urfa@​uregina.​ca or at 3065854378. We would be hap­py to speak with you!
