Rising housing costs have become a critical barrier for post-secondary students, with many forced to choose between shelter and school expenses. For students from low-income households, these pressures can result in delayed graduation, increased debt, and even dropping out. University Apartments x Wester-Land offer a unique opportunity to close this gap through stable, predictable, and professionally managed housing.

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This grant will fund 6 full-year rent scholarships at 1/2 price (12 months) for selected students living at Wester-Land. Recipients will benefit from:

  • Fully furnished, private units designed for student life
  • All-inclusive rents (utilities + WiFi) for peace of mind
  • Proximity to campus, reducing commuting time and cost
