You can apply for funding to take on a CapU student.
If you're looking to work with a student, there may be funding available to help you pay for their time. This funding comes from federal or provincial grants.
Plan ahead with funding as some applications need to be received a few months before starting to work with a student. For some grants, you will need to be able to name the student you will work with before you apply for funding.
