Student Organisations can apply for funding in February

The next deadline for submitting applications to the Student Organisations Development Fund of the University of Tartu Student Union (UTSU) is February 23. Funds can be requested from the support fund to organise various events and trainings.

The aim of the UTSU Student Organisations Development Fund is to support projects of student organisations related to the University of Tartu that contribute to the fulfilment of the goals of the University of Tartu Development Plan and increase the cohesion of the university and students.

According to UTSU Vice President Anette-Mai Pirk-Birk, the development fund has supported various events over the years. “Various events, autumn schools, study trips and conferences have been organised with the help of the support fund. For example, from last year, we can highlight the Spring Run organised by the University of Tartu Student Sport Representation, ÜKSA’s young leader development programme and the Biosciences Students' Association’s environmental week,” Pirk-Birk said.

The fund's minimum grant amount is 500 euros, and all expenses for the planned project must be incurred by March 15, 2026. According to Pirk-Birk, the fund has made applying for money as easy as possible for students. “So, those interested must first familiarise themselves with the university's development plan, come up with an ambitious and good project concept, fill out the application form and send it to us. Of course, we are always there to help if you have any concerns,” he said.

More detailed information about the development fund is available on the UTSU website. In addition to February 23, it is also possible to apply for money from the development fund in the spring and autumn – April 27 and September 21.
