Being a board member sometimes takes up so much time that students fall behind and face delays in completing their studies. The purpose of the Administrative Body Membership Grant is to provide compensate for situations like this. Each board member must apply for an Administrative Body Membership Grant individually.
To qualify, you must have an administrative position on the board of:
The study association, student association or student organisation of which you're a board member must be recognised by the UvA within the framework of the Profiling Fund regulations ('Regeling Profileringsfonds' in Dutch).
Besides being a board member of a recognised student organisation, you must also meet the following requirements:
The current list of recognised student organisations shows how many grant months your organisation has been awarded. The number of months awarded will depend on a number of factors, including the number of members and the extent of administrative activities.
This means that board members your organisation must divide up the total number of (grant) months to which it is entitled and enter the specifics on the division document. Check in advance that everyone meets the individual requirements.
If you're a board member within a board that changes during the course of the academic year, rather than at the beginning, bear in mind the following:
You will receive €327 per (grant) month allocated.
Each board member submits a grant application individually between 1 September and 1 November (at the latest), at the beginning of the academic year in which you are a board member. Only board members of boards that change their board members at other (agreed) intervals will submit the application later, but always within 2 months of the change at the very latest.
You can submit an application for an Administrative Body Membership Grant online. Make sure you include the following documents with your application:
Important: submit your grant application even if it is not complete yet. You can add the missing documents later.
Once you submit your application, you'll receive confirmation by email.
Grants for 1 to 5 (grant) months inclusive will be paid in one lump sum at the end of the board year. Grants for 6 (grant) months or more will be paid monthly during the board year.
