Applying for funding
Applying for funding at the faculty
- Choose the type of funding you wish to apply for from the list below.
- Carefully read the requirements and collect the necessary documents before applying online.
- Submit your application, you will receive an email when your application has been evaluated and whether or not it meets the requirements. After this first evaluation, your application will be reviewed by the commission of scientific research (CWO) and the faculty board. (Check the Submitting calendar to see when your application will be handled.)
- After approval of your application by the faculty board, you will be notified by mail.
Within 3 months after this notice or within 3 months after your journey or event, you will have to submit a proof of your attendance1 in the database (except for DA starting credits) and your involved promotor's E/.../01 budget element2 for internal reimbursement. - On approval of your submitted expenses, the lump sum granted to you will be transferred to your E/.../01 budget element. The department concerned must ensure that only expenses actually incurred are reimbursed to the applicant.
2 The E/.../01 budget element is the account from your department secretariat that was used to pay for your expenses.
If you do not yet have a personal E/01-budget
The application form for such an E-budget can be found on this page (Dutch only)
Once the form has been completed and signed, it should be sent to Helmut Leydens of the Financial Department.
The personal starting grant approved by the CWO can be used as reference to apply for this E-budget.
