Student Committee Utrecht University Fund (STUF)
The Utrecht University Fund reserves approximately 80,000 euros a year for subsidies to support the students at our university. This amount is raised by the Friends of the Utrecht University Fund. Both student organizations and individual students can apply for a grant.
For students, by students
The amount of the guarantee grant depends on the organisation, professionalism, content and impact of the activity or event. Applications are reviewed and assessed by the Student Committee every week. We reconstitute every year and will post on our social media and on this page when we are recruiting STUF-members for the next academic year (usually around April).
Apply now for STUF 2025-2026
What does it involve?
- Together with your fellow STUFers, you assess the budgets and settlements that students and student organizations submit to the fund;
- It is a part-time position (about 8 hours per week), you are present at the STUF office on Friday afternoons;
- Gezelligheid! Visit activities that receive subsidies together, maintain contact with the boards of all kinds of student organizations;
- You will receive compensation for your work and for your new suit.
- Board experience is not a must! However, the majority of grant applications we receive are in Dutch. So a good understanding of the Dutch language (reading, writing, listening and preferably speaking) is necessary to adequately asses applications and communicate with the applicants.
Interested?
You can apply 22 May at the latest by emailing your CV and a short motivation to stuf@uu.nl. The interviews will take place in the weeks after.
If you have any questions first, you can of course also email us, or drop by on Friday to discuss it over a cup of coffee or tea.
