Grants are non-repayable funds given by one party to another for a particular purpose. Use our grant writing guide to make a compelling case when applying for grant funding.

Bristol SU Group Grants

Bristol SU Group Grants are available for student groups to support student activities. There are four grant rounds each year when groups can apply for up to £3,000.

Bristol SU Volunteering Grants

Bristol SU Volunteering Grants are available for student-led volunteering projects. Such grants cover their essential annual costs to help volunteering projects deliver their annual activities.

Activity Hardship Fund

The Activity Hardship Fund supports students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in their chosen activity due to cost. Students can apply for up to £100 per year to cover joining fees, trips and other costs.

Other Grants

The University's Alumni Grant supports extra-curricular activities that enhance the student experience. There are also many grants available outside the University that your group may be eligible for so it is worth doing some research.

If applying for an Alumni Grant or an external grant, we encourage you to get in touch with the Development Team (bristolsu-development@bristol.ac.uk) who are happy to read over a grant application before you submit it.
