Apply for HYY’s operating grant for 2025!

NEWS

Student organisations play an important role in building a sense of community and being part of students’ everyday lives. That is why HYY wants to support the activities of the organisations operating under HYY with a financial operating grant.

Any organisation operating under HYY is eligible to apply for an operating grant. Before applying, please read the conditions for the grant and its use, and the operating grant allocation model. Please also remember to fill in the information form for organisations, as this is a prerequisite for the grant.

The application period for the operating grant is 1–31 March 2025. The application form closes on 29 March 2025. We will not process late applications.

To apply for an operating grant, fill in the application form. We will send an invitation link to the application form to each organisation operating under HYY. If your organisation has not received an invitation link by 1 March, please contact HYY’s specialist in organisations (janne.salokoski@hyy.fi).

Operating grant allocation schedule

  1. Fill in the organisations’ contact information form by 28 February.
  2. The application form for the operating grant is open from 1 to 31 March.
  3. The applications will be scored in April.
  4. HYY’s Financial Committee will make the final decision on the operating grants.
  5. The final versions of the annexes must be submitted to HYY by 31 May.
