Administrative Body Membership Grant for members of a representative advisory body
Administrative Body Membership Grant for members of a representative advisory body
Being on a student council or programme committee can sometimes take up so much of your time that you incur a study completion delay. The aim of the Administrative Body Membership Grant is to compensate you for situations like this.
Individual requirements
Besides being a member of a student council or programme committee, you must also meet the following requirements:
- You must be registered as a full-time student at the UvA.
- You pay the tuition fees directly to the UvA, so not by means of a Proof of Payment of Tuition Fees issued by another higher education institution.
- For members of the CSR and FSR: Prior to the year during which the administrative office was performed, you must have met the BSA standard. Or, if your programme does not have a BSA requirement, you have obtained 42 ECTS from the first year. This requirement does not apply to members of the programme committee.
- You must not already have received the maximum number of 36 (grant) months for an Administrative Body Membership Grant while enrolled at the UvA.

* The expense allowance is not an allowance issued by the Profiling Fund, but rather an allowance issued by the faculty. See the facility regulations in Appendix VI in the profiling fund regulations. However, it is mentioned here in the interest of clarifying the total range of financial assistance for which members of representative advisory councils may be eligible.
