I want to organise something myself
Do you want to organise a fun activity together with your fellow students? Request funding and organise an activity for your class, students from your programme or Zuyd students with the same interests! From the National Program Education (in Dutch:Nationaal Programma Onderwijs (NPO)) there are funds to give student life a boost and deal with the effects of the corona crisis in education. For inspiration, see below also the examples of stu dents who have already organised something together!
Until 1 June 2024, you can apply for budget for physical items and dressing up your graduation activity. Don't miss your chance.
How does it work?
You organize an activity for students within your programme
- What would you like to organise for your fellow students? Come up with a fun idea! Then check if it fits the conditions. Do you work at Zuyd? Inspire your students with fun ideas. You can request the activity for them too!
- You discuss your plan with your head of programme and ask him/her for written approval and you ask for the academy’s reference number (three-digit number). You will need both at step 3. If the budget has run out, you will hear from your head of programme.
- Submit the application form at least 5 working days in advance.
- The NPO project team will evaluate your application within 3 to 5 working days.
- You will receive a message from the NPO project team with an approval, additional questions or a rejection. In this email message you will be informed about the reimbursement, financial settlement and accountability.
- You arrange the financial settlement prior to the activity. Invoicing by the supplier is preferred. If this is not possible, please contact crediteuren@zuyd.nl.
- During the activity, you will take some photos.
- During the activity, you will take some photos. After the activity, please send 1 or 2 good photos to npo@zuyd.nl, which we may publish on the Zuyd website/ social accounts, with a short description of your activity, date and number of participants. Make sure you also ask your fellow students for permission to have the photo published.
You organize an activity for all Zuyd students (Zuyd-wide)
- You think about what you would like to do (or what you want to organize for the students) and you check the conditions.
- Submit the application form at least 15 working days in advance.
- The NPO project team will evaluate your application within 3 to 5 working days and contacts you to discuss financial settlement and reimbursement, perhaps a small contribution from the participants is needed.
- During the activity you will take some pictures.
- After the activity, please send 1 or 2 good photos to npo@zuyd.nl, which we may publish on the Zuyd website/ social accounts, with a short description of your activity, date and number of participants. Make sure you also ask your fellow students for permission to have the photo published.

- You can only apply for a budget via the form below and not via e-mail.

Financial settlement
Here you can read how the financial processing of your activity works. If you still have questions, please send an email to crediteuren@zuyd.nl.
Liability
Students who make use of the NPO funds and organise an activity independently are also responsible for taking out the necessary insurance. So please think carefully in advance whether it is necessary to take out an insurance. Zuyd accepts no liability for damage of any kind, caused by or arising from the activities. This also applies to employees who participate in NPO activities (at their own expense). They participate as private individuals and should therefore take care of the necessary insurances themselves.
Socials
We are hoping for great participation in social activities Posting your activity on the socials contributes to this. Will you participate?
If so, please use the hashtags: #zuydmood and #boostyourmood.
And you can tag Zuyd: Instagram @zuyd_hogeschool / Facebook @ZuydHogeschool
