From students for students: Cultural and social projects

Students from universities in our area of responsibility or their student representatives (AStA or Studierendenrat) can apply for project funds.

The Studierendenwerk West:Brandenburg supports cultural and social student projects outside university. We do not fund projects that are primarily created and implemented in the context of university events.

We have funded:

• Sehsüchte - International Student Film Festival (Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF)
• Werkschau - Annual Exhibition of all departments of the FHP (University of Applied Sciences Potsdam)
• Golm rockt (University of Potsdam)
• Deutsche Fußballmeisterschaft der Mathematiker (University of Potsdam)
• Campusfest (Brandenburg University of Technology)
• Löffelball (Technical University Wildau)
   

For applications of up to 1,500 €, the management of the Studierendenwerk will decide on the project application at any time – there are no deadlines, and applications can be submitted at any time. For higher amounts, the approval of the Board of Directors is required. The Board makes its decision during one of its three annual meetings. Please note that all documents must be received by us at least six weeks before the meeting date in order to allow for timely review and decision-making.

Next meeting Board of Directors: 24.11.2025

Deadline for student project applications (more than 1.500 €): 13.10.2025
