Utrecht University and Utrecht University of Applied Sciences are keen to encourage special initiatives organised for and by students. That is why all recognised umbrella organisations receive an umbrella subsidy for activities. All recognised associations that belong to the cluster of the relevant umbrella organisation can apply for this umbrella subsidy
Sportraad: cluster sports clubs
BOCS: cluster philosophical & spiritual,
FUG: cluster social clubs
VIDIUS: cluster international, diversity & inclusion, job market & work experience, education & society, arts & culture*
Study associations cannot make use of activity subsidies. They can apply to their own faculty/institute/training and (in the case of HU study associations) to OSHU and (in the case of UU study associations) to STUF, the Utrecht University Fund.
For which activities is the umbrella subsidy/activity subsidy intended?
This umbrella subsidy is to be used for activities organised for the benefit of the HU/UU student community. The subsidy can be applied for by organisations for new or renewed activities that take place on a one-off basis (i.e. no standard or annually recurring activities). The activity should contribute something valuable for the student. Activities that can be qualified as educational, social or cultural are included. The method of assessment and the way of applying is determined by the umbrella organisation. The activities must be subsidised in the form of an activity subsidy. The activity subsidy must be provided in accordance with the Subsidy Regulation for Student Organisations.
*Organisations from the art & culture cluster can make a claim via VIDIUS student union, due to an implementation agreement between VIDIUS and KOSMU.
