Administrative Body Membership Grant

As a board member of a student association or student organisation, or as a student council member, you could incur a study completion delay. You may therefore be eligible for financial support from the Profiling Fund. Find out more here: Administrative body membership grant.

Apply

• Applications for financial assistance from the Profiling Fund must be made through a student counsellor. 
• Prior to your appointment with the student counsellor, discuss with your study adviser possible ways of catching up on, or compensating for, your study completion delay. 
• If you've already received the reminder email about your study delay, meeting with your study adviser is no longer necessary.

With the student counsellor you'll discuss whether there is a sufficiently demonstrable connection between your  study delay and your circumstances. The Profiling Fund's criteria and provisions offered by DUOExternal link can be included in this discussion.
