- Enhancing Aboriginal Involvement: Recruitment Video Project
Aboriginal Programs and Services / Student Recruitment and Advising - Academic Success Program
Academic Advising / Advising and Involvement Centre / Student Development and Advising - Flags United Initiative
International Programs and Services / Campus Life - An Accessibility Audit of UBC’s Okanagan Campus

Guidelines for the fund can be viewed on the Equity Enhancement Fund Guidelines website. The funding is available to any academic or administrative unit with the endorsement of the unit or department head.
