Financing student and scientific activities
Cultural, artistic, sports and scientific activities of university organisations operating at the University may be co-financed in particular from:
- distribution of funds made by the University Student Government Council;
- Rector’s funds intended for teaching activities, i.e. the Rector’s Reserve;
- targeted subsidies, donations and bequests received for cultural, artistic, sports and scientific activities;
- revenues from the organisation’s activity;
- funds at the disposal of organisational units (Dean’s subsidy);
Distribution of funds carried out by the University Council of the Student Government
All entities that have been granted the status of an organisation of the University of Silesia, i.e. all organisations included in the list of university student organisations operating at the University, can participate in the distribution of funds.
The University Council of the Student Government distributes funds for student activities for a given six months, based on the rules and regulations for the distribution of funds, on the following dates:
- to 15 February covers the period from January to August
- to 15 October covers the period from September to December
The funds are divided between organisations and associations that have submitted substantive and financial reports from previously received grants (regarding the previous six months) and applications together with cost estimates for co-financing of projects for the next period within the prescribed deadline.
All information regarding the distribution of funds for student activities can be found on the website http://www.studenci.us.edu.pl/?page_id=509
Rector’s Reserve
The reserve consists of the Rector’s funds, agreed by the Rector with the University Council of the Student Government and the University Council of the Doctoral Student Government. The reserve is intended for co-financing:
- outstanding undertakings of university organisations,
- outstanding individual projects of students and doctoral students related to their scientific, creative or sport activities.
How to apply for funding for a project from the Rector’s Reserve?
A written application addressed to the Vice-Rector for Education and Students should be submitted to the Student Service Centre, room 127. Due to the unique nature of financing activities, applications should receive a positive opinion from the appropriate dean and the Student Government before being submitted, along with a note on financial participation.
PLEASE REMEMBER!
Before incurring any financial obligations within the allocated funds, please consult the person responsible for recording costs at your faculty or the Student Service Centre!
