The University Group Accelerator Program (UGAP) is a program run by the Centre For Effective Altruism that aims to take a university group from a couple of interested organizers to a mid-sized new EA group. It offers stipends for main organizers, regular meetings with an experienced mentor, trainings, and useful resources to run your first intro seminar (or fellowship) program. 

Applications for next semester are open!

There will be two rounds of UGAP this semester.

• Round 1: Southern Hemisphere Groups/Groups with early start dates.
  • Apply by 11:59pm ET, June 19th
  • The program will start in early July
• Round 2: Northern Hemisphere Groups/Groups with later start dates.
  • Apply by 11:59pm ET, July 25th.
  • The program will start in early August.
