How to: Semester 2 Grants

There are three grants available for you to apply for from Semester onwards. 


LUU Clubs and Socs Hardship Fund

The Emergency Hardship Fund is available to all clubs and societies. This fund has been created from the £5 membership levy paid by all members of LUU who have joined a club or society this academic year. The majority of the levy has paid for insurance, covering all students taking part in LUU activities, and the remainder of the funds generated from the levy have formed the “Clubs & Societies Emergency hardship Fund”.

The criteria for the Emergency Hardship Fund has been decided by the Activities Exec, 13 elected student reps who each represent a different society category. Reviewing applications of this fund will be the responsibility of the Activities Exec, chaired by Ella the Activities & Opportunities Officer.

To apply, please fill out this form.


Ideas Fund 

Do you have an idea that could improve the University and the experience of other students? An idea that can strengthen ties with or improve your local community? The Ideas Fund is open and ready for applications. The Ideas Fun is a collaboration between the University of Leeds and LUU. You'll receive support from the Ideas Fund team to help shape your application. Decisions are decided by a panel which includes a member from the Activities Team. So far this year we've funded Fringe applications, Scribe's print magazine, Falcon's cheerleading and more!

The fund is open until March 31st.


Footsteps Fund

Leave a legacy - do you have a major project that you would like to launch? The Footsteps Fund is now open for 2023 applications. Learn more about the Footsteps Fund here

If you would like to make an application:

  • Does your application meet one of the priorities listed? 
  • Your next step is to email Max (m.camara@leeds.ac.uk) whereby I'll arrange a chat to support your project and begin drafting the application.

The deadline for applications is the middle of May. However, you must contact LUU Activities before April 20th to begin an application.
