Student Experience Fund 2020-21 - spring semester applications open

Do you have an idea for an activity, project or event that would enhance student experience and/or foster academic community? The School of Humanities (SoH) aims to support student initiatives of this nature through the Student Experience Fund.

• Individual students, groups of students or student societies can apply to the SoH Student Experience Fund for funding to support appropriate activities, projects and events.
• These may include social events with an academic dimension, initiatives for new forms of learning, social media projects, or initiatives to improve student involvement in curriculum development.
• The School is particularly keen to support students taking part in Students as Change Agents (SACA) projects through funds to support project outcomes (eg, the purchase of equipment, software, funding focus groups, etc).
• The Student Experience Fund has limited funds in each academic year - awards will be granted on a case by case basis and in accordance with the funds available.
• Students are advised to research their required funds thoroughly and to apply a contingency to the amount for which they bid. Once an award has been made the amount cannot be increased.

In 2021 the deadline for applications to the fund is: Friday 19 February 2021.

Applications should be submitted by 5pm on the deadline day. Late applications will not be considered.

Please note, your application will require a supporting statement from a member of staff.

The completed form should be submitted electronically to Aoife Conroy or Kate Packer (faculty Education and Student Experience managers).

Please read the guidance carefully before submitting your form.
