The Student Activity and Engagement Fund has been created so you can design and run your own projects focused on social justice and social mobility.
We know that not all experiences are equal, and that some students experience both personal and institutional barriers which can impact their experiences: the fund means everyone can excel and access equitable opportunities.
The initiative offers funding towards projects, events or research which engage students who are underrepresented at Southampton, or are focused on social justice or diversifying students’ educational experiences. This might be inviting an author, speaker, campaigner, or activist for a speaking event, running an event for students who share a common experience, publishing an article, attending a conference or training session or bringing in external trainers to work with your club or society.
We have committed £10,000 to giving you the opportunity to shape the future of your institution and to work in partnership with us to create change. The Widening Participation and Social Mobility Student Advisory Board decide which applications are awarded.
