Student Sustainability Fund
Realise your sustainable goals
We are encouraging applications to our Student Sustainability Fund! The aim of the fund is to support student-led projects which meet the aims of our Sustainability Strategy. Students are able to apply for a sum of £10 to £1,000 to support their projects. The Sustainability Strategy follows a whole College approach and with that, we have a duty to equip our learners with the tools and skills to face sustainability challenges.
This programme will give students a direct opportunity to contribute to the College’s sustainability journey. Students can seek advice for their applications from their teachers or the Sustainability Team and feedback will be provided to any applicants who are unsuccessful.
How to apply...
1)
Students will be invited to write an application including how they believe their project idea will influence the College’s sustainability strategy and which Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) their project idea will meet. Contact the Sustainability Team at sustainability@barnsley.ac.uk for an application form.
2)
Please be aware that a department can only apply for up to a maximum of £1000 each academic year. For example, 10 student projects each asking for £100, two allocated £500, or £1000 for one student group. It is recommended the student project group confirm with their Head of Department if there is any funding available.
3)
Judging will be dependent on whether the application meets the criteria and the departments sustainability fund allocation status. If a department has reached its limit but the application is accepted, considerations will be made or the project will be given priority the following academic year.
