Our goal as a student council is to provide access to our events for all students at GIUB. We are aware that the participation fees for some of our events can be a financial barrier. In order to tackle this structural inequality and offer everyone the opportunity to participate, we support students in financing the participation fees for the following events:

  • First-year trips
  • Master’s trips
  • Geo-Parties

Not included in our funding offer are the following events:

  • Excursions that are part of the Geography degree
  • Conferences (there is already financial support for these through conference funding)

Funding procedure

  1. If you need financial support, you can contact the Student Council confidentially via the awareness email address (). In addition, Student Council members should proactively approach people if they notice that they cannot afford an event for financial reasons.
  2. No special form is required for your application, an informal email in which you name the event for which you would like financial support is sufficient.
  3. Your application will be processed anonymously by the financial officers and the awareness officers and then confirmed to you via email.

There is no obligation to disclose your financial situation for the application. The Student Council will not make any inappropriate inquiries about your finances. As the person submitting the application, you also have the absolute right to anonymity.
