Important for students: To qualify for Level UP funding, please confirm your eligibility by completing a short 1-minute Level UP Eligibility Check. This step is mandatory for you to receive your $1,400 honorarium from Riipen.


The Level UP program (powered by Riipen) allows employers to bring on Canadian post-secondary students for 80-hour paid projects. Students are paid a $1400 CAD stipend on completion of the project by Riipen; employers are not required to provide payment.

Submit a project for our Level UP coordinators to review (see the navigating the platform from project creation to project results resource for more information). Once approved, students will apply to your project directly - individually, or in teams. Get specific in your project description about the skills you're looking for in order to attract the most suitable applicant(s). Most projects will be suitable if they can be completed remotely or in a hybrid fashion.

Students will interview Indigenous entrepreneurs to find out their experiences on getting the necessary money to capitalize their businesses. Students will also interview Indigenous and non-Indigenous capital providers to understand their view on why Indigenous entrepreneurs are denied funds. Lastly, using the research findings and data, students will help think through the development of new social finance instruments.
