University Fund Limburg

Great initiatives from UM students – the Fund is happy to support them! After all, our mission is to strengthen the relationship between Maastricht University and society while supporting social (research) projects and young talent. Several times a year, students can apply for a grant for their project or event through the Student Activities Support Committee (CooSa).

The Fund provides grants to promote research and education at Maastricht University, encourage international collaboration, and strengthen the university’s connection with its surroundings. UM staff can apply for funding to support their innovative research and events. Three times a year, the Scientific Expenditures Committee (CoBes) reviews the applications.

Did you know that the UM alumni community consists of over 100,000 graduates? Through the University Fund Limburg, more and more alumni are giving back to their alma mater—whether through financial contributions, helping at open days, coaching at the Coach Café, or giving guest lectures. Additionally, alumni enjoy various benefits.

The Fund offers both staff and students an innovative way to raise money for scientific and social projects: crowdfunding. Through UM Crowd, donors can contribute to a wide range of innovative projects. The goal of UM Crowd is to bring people together around a social theme, helping to advance science in a meaningful way.

In recent years, the Fund has awarded scholarships to more than 45 young students—a valuable step toward a more inclusive and diverse university, where everyone has the opportunity to pursue higher education. Curious about the options for applying for a scholarship from the Fund?
