The AStA of the HfK awards grants for projects and events of students of the HfK as well as institutions of the student body and existing project groups. Currently (as of 2023/24), the budget has a total of 11,000€ available for project grants.
The basis for the funding is the project funding guideline of the student body: Projektförderungsrichtlinie der Studierendenschaft (the StuRa has recently revised and translated this guideline. The updated version will be linked here asap).
There are two different funds from which project funding can be applied for:
Project Funding
Funding for projects and events by students of the University of Arts who engage in self-organized political, social or cultural activities outside the curriculum. The fund is intended to promote interdisciplinary work and networking among students.
Maximum application amount: 400€.
The AStA decides on this funding.
Structure funding
Funding for campaigns and structures of institutions of the constituted student body or other already existing project groups that have the goal of sustainably developing or maintaining structures of the student body. Measures that directly fulfill the “tasks of the student body” (according to Regulations of the Student Body § 2) should also be funded.
Maximum application amount: 2,000€.
The StuRa decides on this funding.
