More Than A Degree initiative fund

Do you have a great initiative or do you want to organise an event? The More Than A Degree - initiative fund can help! This fund is especially for student organisations who have a cool initiative in mind and is made available by the Student Union and Grolsch.

Examples of initiatives include an activity, a multi-day event or a plan for a certain facility on the campus or in the city. Such as a festival, a sports tournament or a debate. So in short, a lot of things, as long as it contributes to our mission: "EVERYTHING WE DO IS DONE FOR OUR FELLOW STUDENTS - TO EMPOWER THEM TO ACHIEVE MORE THAN A DEGREE"

From this fund, you, as a Union recognised association, will be granted a maximum subsidy of 500 euros per year.
