2. Apply for HYY’s operating grant for 2025
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).

6. HYY helps with organisation’s communication
Are you organising a large, interdisciplinary project? Are you thinking about how you could reach out to students a little more widely?
All organisations operating within HYY can register their events on the HYY events calendar. Please use the event registration form to register your event. HYY’s communication sector will review the announced events before publication.
All organisations operating within HYY for an Instagram takeover for their stories. Takovers often require arrangement in the HYY communications calendar and not all requests can be accommodated. However, it is worth asking for a takeover!
HYY’s communication sector also supports organisations by offering advice and tips when needed. Let’s get in touch!
