Project grants are intended for Student Union organisations of all sizes to support projects financially alongside organisations’ own funding and possible external funding. Project grants can be granted only for those organisations where at least half of the members are members of the Student Union.
Projects grants are distributed twice a year: in autumn and in spring. Project grants can be applied for purposes such as printing quotas, organisational publications, events and Student Union facility rents. In 2019, projects promoting equality, internationality and teamwork of student organisations are emphasized when choosing the beneficiaries. Application shared by organisations works as a proof of a teamwork. The Student Union favors projects that are environmentally friendly, non-alcoholic and furthers healthy lifestyle and students’ working life skills. If food or drink is served, we require favoring Fair Trade products.
When Student Union is distributing the money, the priority order will be student organisations, clubs and lastly other campus organisations.
