Stichting Groninger Universiteits-Fonds (GUF) is the University of Groningen’s supporting foundation, backing student advancement, academic excellence, and public-facing science and heritage projects. It primarily funds University of Groningen students and faculty through scholarships, travel and conference grants, small research awards, public outreach events, and the establishment of special chairs. Its distinctive feature is its highly university-centered support: most grants are tied to specific faculties, students, or institutional initiatives in Groningen.
Mostly small, targeted grants and awards rather than large open calls, with some invite-only or named-fund support. Many programs have rolling intake or no fixed public deadline, but applications typically must be submitted at least 6 weeks before the activity starts; scholarship and prize programs are often faculty-specific or annual.

Check eligibility carefully: many programs are limited to University of Groningen students, staff, or faculty-led activities. For travel, conference, and event grants, apply well in advance—usually at least 6 weeks before the activity—and look for faculty- or fund-specific rules for named funds and annual prizes.
