Who can make an Application?

The Student Administration sponsors cultural groups which consists of female as well as male students. They must be active in the following universities: Leibniz University of Hanover, Medical School Hanover, University of Veterinary Medicine Hanover, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hanover, Hanover University for Music and Drama. Student cultural groups are e.g. musical groups, bands, choirs, theatre-, small arts- and literature groups. Single students and study-related group activities cannot be promoted.

Furthermore, cultural events can be sponsored, which students organise for a student audience.

Each cultural group can only file one application per calendar year.

What is being Promoted?

The Student Administration Hanover supports measures, that are necessary for student cultural activities. This could be e.g. rehearsal weekends, concerts and events (costs for advertisement, rent etc.), acquisition of requisites, sheet music, promotion material, printing costs and so on.

If students organise cultural events for a student audience, contributions can be made in regard to rent, stage rent, lending fees for movies, rent for instruments, salaries, advertisement etc. The Student Administration does only sponsor part of the measures. Accordingly, student groups must make a contribution of their own by all means.

How is an Application filed?

Before the measure actually starts, the application must be handed in at:

Studentenwerk Hannover
Abteilung Soziales und Internationales
Lodyweg 1
30167 Hannover

What has to be done if the contribution should be granted?

Via written notice, the Student Administration informs the cultural groups about the granted funds and defines the purposes of use (measures or acquisitions).

After the measures respectively acquisitions are completed, copies of bills / quittances must be handed in at Student Administration which prove that the granted funds have been used adequately. In addition to that, it must be declared that there were no contributions of third parties available for the purpose in question.

If the cultural group should not be able to produce these confirmations, the Student Administration is entitled to reclaim the granted funds.

In case of funding concerts, performances and other events, the financial aid of the Student Administration Hanover must be noted in the context of press- and public relations The same applies to the editing of publications.

As soon as the cultural group affirms in writing, that the conditions for promotion are fulfilled, the allowance will be transferred to the group’s account.
