The Access Programs University Fund (APUF) is a Provostial fund, launched in 2019, that supports access initiatives at the University of Toronto. The Access Strategy & Partnerships Office (ASPO) defines “Access Programs” as initiatives that support traditionally underrepresented groups with pathways and opportunities for post-secondary education, such as transition to university, bridging programs for adults with diverse educational backgrounds, and exposure to career paths for underrepresented youth. Access also involves service-based planning and programming within university divisions, departments, learning approaches, technologies, and student services.   

APUF offers up to $100,000/per year in funding for 1-year or 2-year grants.
