The purpose of the grants given by the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä (JYY) is to equally support organization of and participation in different events by associations, student groups and individual students working in JYY’s domain. With the grants, JYY wants to encourage its members and the associations working in its domain to be active and to start new forms of activities. To support the actual operations of associations, the associations can apply for JYY’s general grant. The general grants are applied for in March and the application is announced separately.
JYY’s organizing and participation grants are applied for with their own application form. In connection with the reformation, the application process has been unified and the criteria have been changed. The criteria will be updated every now and then, so please read the instructions carefully. JYY’s Board of Executives and personnel are more than happy to help with any questions related to grant applications.
