Board grants scheme
Do you want to know whether you, as a board member of your (recognised) student organisation, are eligible for board grants? Then read the board grants scheme carefully. In this regulation you will find more information about the procedure to apply for board grants and what conditions you must meet to be eligible for a grant. It is important that you are aware of these conditions.
If you receive a grant and it turns out that you don’t meet the requirements, your grant may be revoked. We see this especially among UU students who do not have a bachelor’s degree after 5 years or master’s students who have started a UU master’s via HBO and premaster. For HU students we especially see this among HU students who do not have a bachelor’s degree after 6 years. If in doubt, send an email to: bestuursbeurs@uu.nl or studentparticipatie@hu.nl. Mention your student number, organisation and amount that you will receive in board grant in 2025-2026.
A board grant is compensation for (potential) study delay of the individual board member. Each monthly board grant equals €425**. The UU and HU do not check whether student board members actually use the money to compensate for their own study delay. This is the responsibility of the student board member.
Regular compensation for board activities
Not every student organisation is entitled to compensation for board activities. Once every three years, UU and HU organise an Assessment. This involves looking at which student organisations are to be recognised by the universities, and which organisations are entitled to regular compensation for board activities for the next three years. In the Distribution of Board Grans and Basic Grants 2025-2028 you can read which student organizations can make use of financial support from educational institutions.

** Since the introduction of the student loan system, the level of the compensation for board activities has not been linked to student grants. It has been set at €425 per month (=unit).
