Throughout the year, eligible groups have the opportunity to apply for grant funding from York SU. Grants can help an amazing project come to fruition; enable you to put on a brilliant event; or just support you as you continue to provide great opportunities for your members.
Grants are not available all year round, but only at specific times of year, and they are extremely competitive, so a good application can make all the difference.
A successful grant application will grant you money for a set time period. Grant money must be spent by the 30th June of the academic year. Any unspent money will be reclaimed from your account after this date. There is no opportunity to claim it back after this deadline.
When you apply for a grant, you must state what you wish to spend it on. Any grant money you receive can only be spent on what it was requested for, except in exceptional circumstances. If you wish to spend your grant on anything other than that for which you applied, contact your link staff member to discuss your situation.

Allocations
