Funding

Check this checklist before you apply as a student organisation.
 

1. Is it an (annually) recurring activity or a lustrum? If this is the case, the activity is in principal not eligible for a sum of money. The organisation should have sufficient budget for this. Exception: New elements are added to the activity which clearly contribute to the wellbeing of the students and/or make an extra contribution to the skills of incoming and graduating students. 
2. Has the organisation already made use of the separate grant for student organisations (250 or 500 euros)? If not, this should be used first.  
3. Is it a drink, party, gala, dinner or similar activity? In that case it is in fact not eligible for financial support. Especially now that the budget for social activities and community has been used up. Exception: the activity has a strong substantive component that concretely improves student welfare and/or makes a clear contribution to the skills of incoming and graduating students (such as study skills). 
4. Is the amount requested from NPO realistic? Look carefully at the amount of money it costs per student and test this against social standards. Is a realistic amount per student being asked for? And, given the content of the activity, can this be justified to the outside world?
