Academic Funding Scheme

We want to support our academic societies to facilitate the academic experiences they plan and offer an Academic funding scheme to support you achieving your goals. As you carry out events and initiatives that benefit all students you can win additional funds for your society. When you’ve achieved one of these initiatives, please submit your evidence using the button below.
