Financial support for student volunteering

About the support scheme

The funds will contribute to the academic and social integration of all students, including those of us with special needs, such as international students and students with disabilities. Much of this integration occurs through student volunteering. The support scheme has been created to give student organizations at NTNU a chance to plan activities that are not already within the organizations' set framework.

Economic framework

NTNU's scheme for support for student volunteering has a limit of 1,450,000 NOK per year. Of this, 150,000 NOK has been earmarked for AktivCampus NTNUI, and 180,000 NOK for Management in Practice.

Criteria for allocatin funds upon application

• The organization must be a cross-faculty student organization affiliated with NTNU
• The organization must be registered as a non-profit organization with an organization number in the Brønnøysund Register. For organizations that are not registered in the Brønnøysund Register, a maximum allocation of funds is set at NOK 10,000
• Support is granted for events that contribute to the academic and social integration of students. The event must be aimed at students at NTNU
• Short-term operating support can be granted
• A budget for the measure for which funds are sought must be submitted

Accessibility

NTNU has more than 2,000 students with disabilities. Among these are students who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, physically impaired, students with various psychological disorders, and students with different functional impairments. NTNU wants to encourage awareness of the importance of universal design and accommodation and will therefore prioritize funding for those who make events and activities accessible for all. NTNU will prioritize support for events that take into account the needs of this group. The application must include a description of how the funding will contribute to including students with disabilities, and how their needs are already being met.
