Sonia Enjamio Award: Donate

The Student Overseas Travel Fund (the Sonia Enjamio Award)  provides funds to help Canadian students study in Cuba and Cuban students study in Canada. For Canadian students, the fund provides a subsidy towards the program fee to participate in Devs 305 Cuban Culture and Society, which includes a two-week component in Havana. 

We are also building this award to assist Cuban students, particularly graduate students, who have been accepted to study at Queen's.
