Stichting Universiteitsfonds Twente is the independent fundraising foundation for the University of Twente, supporting students, researchers, and university groups with scholarships, study trips, awards, conferences, and special projects. Its giving is strongly tied to the UT community and emphasizes talent development, access and participation, academic excellence, and visible student or research initiatives that can be clearly defined and executed. It also backs annual prizes and targeted funds for first-generation students, international scholarship recipients, and entrepreneurship, while offering crowdfunding support for ambitious projects with strong public engagement potential.
Mix of small awards and subsidies (often up to €500), larger annual prizes/scholarships, and project-based support through UFonds or SteunUtwente. Many opportunities are invitation-only or nomination-based, while general subsidies require submission at least two months before the activity; crowdfunding campaigns are accepted on a rolling basis for projects with a concrete goal and deadline.
