D€ar stud€nts,
It is our pl€asur€ to announc€ th€ Wint€r 2021 round of funding
for proj€cts and initiativ€s at the Ri€tveld and Sandb€rg.
At the Student Council we are looking to support collective practices
that will challenge and improve the educational experience within the academy.
We are looking for projects and initiatives that can create possible examples
and platforms for other ways of making and doing art and design.
This round, we are thinking BIG.
We want scale and ambition, projects that dream big.
It may be daunting, but we are here to help you.
Whether a semester-long lecture/workshop/event series, an educational platform, a reoccurring market, a publishing house, institutional interventions… you name it! Let’s get your ideas funded and realised, our community needs them.
We are looking for project proposals with a budget of up to €3000.
If you are unsure if you should apply with your project, have questions about the process, want to find collaborators,
feel overwhelmed by writing a project proposal and need support - or anything else -
you can reach out to us via email or you can talk to us on
Thursday October 28 (12-14h), Monday November 1st (12h-14h) and Thursday November 4th (12-14h).
Sign up for these appointments here(opens in a new tab).
Feel free to email us if you’re not able to make it to these open office hours, we will do our best to find other times to meet you.
Attached to this email is an outline of the funding guidelines
and you can fill out the application form here(opens in a new tab).
Please attach to the form a filled-in budget template, which you can find here(opens in a new tab).

In total, €10.000 will be distributed to the selected projects.
