SATY awards grants for professional development to its members. Grants are awarded, for example, for further professional training, conference travel, publication costs or the promotion of well-being at work. The grants can be applied twice a year: by 15.3. and by 15.9. Decisions on the grants of the March application round are made in the April board meeting and decisions on the September application round in the October board meeting. The maximum amount of an individual grant is 500 EUR. The SATY Board may award grants up to 3,500 EUR during one calendar year.
The board of SATY deliberates on the amount and size of the grants issued. Social and financial circumstances are taken in consideration when deliberating on the grants issued. Especially applicants, who currently are unemployed, will be taken into account. The degree in which employed applicants can be supported with grants, depends on the total amount of applicants, the percentage of unemployed applicants, the size of the grants applied and the sum dispensed.
The application grant is in effect for one application round. If an applicant isn’t issued a grant, the same application can be used on another round, if the application premises haven’t changed.
How to apply

You will also be asked to elaborate on why you should be issued a grant. If the need arises, the board can ask the applicant for further information.
