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 are paying the statutory tuition fee rate at the UvA. Excluded from this requirement are students who pay the institutional fee because of a non-EU nationality, or students with a tuition fee waiver for students serving on a board. Also important is that you pay the tuition fees directly at the UvA – so you are not paying with a proof of paid tuition fees from another educational 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. This requirement does not apply to members of the programme committee.
• You must not already have received the maximum number of (grant) months for an Administrative Body Membership Grant while enrolled at the UvA.
