Applications are processed by MSU in cooperation with the faculty. Information regarding the application process and deadlines is sent out at the end of February/beginning of March each year.
In assessing applications, the following criteria will be considered
- The scope and popularity of the activity, including whether it is open to multiple student groups.
- The degree of interest and benefit to others than those directly involved.
- The applicant's financial situation, as well as the degree of order and control.
- The applicant's possibility of obtaining financial support from other sources.
A financial report for the previous year must accompany the application. If it cannot be provided, this must be explained. A response to the application can be expected by the beginning of May.
Those who receive funds will be required to submit original receipts for their expenses in addition to a completed reimbursement form (personal reimbursement to the individual responsible).
Guidelines for applicants
- Write a brief and concise application. A budget must accompany the application. Alcoholic beverages are not supported. Neither are purposes that indirectly involve the production, storage or serving of alcohol.
- Salary/honoraria are not supported. Applications should be for activities taking place in the current year.
- Original receipts must be provided (or a statement from an account proving the payment). Note! An invoice is not considered a valid receipt!
- A financial report for the previous year must accompany the application. If it cannot be provided, this must be explained.
Applications can be made for daily operations and single events
The main allocation occurs in the spring semester.
The entire sum allocated by the faculty for the current budget period will be distributed during this time. If not all funds are allocated in spring, there will be a new application round in the autumn semester.
Please note that funds will be paid out only as reimbursement of actual expenses, based on original receipts for those expenses.
It is therefore important that applicants save receipts from the event for which they are applying. Invoices are not accepted as receipts - an invoice must be accompanied by a printout from, for example, online banking if it is to be accepted by the auditor.
