Funding possibilities
Travel to and from Tilburg
If you as a Nijmegen student do not have a student season ticket, you can have your travel costs to and from Tilburg reimbursed. You have to complete an expense claim form and attach the original tickets.
Instructions about completing the expense claim form can be found on http://www.ru.nl/cif/cfa/formulieren/declaraties/
NOTE: The financial department is very strict and they do not hesitate to return incomplete forms. Please keep in mind that your entitlement to reimbursement lapses if your claim is not submitted within three months after incurring the expenses.
Attending conferences
The research master’s programme wishes to encourage students to attend conferences. Students are eligible to a one-time financial contribution from the Graduate School for the Humanities (GSH) to attend a national or international conference.
- Who: research master students
- What: subsidy for attending a conference or a workshop or symposium (with the exception of the national research schools)
- Application: you can apply by filling out the form on ru.nl/facultyofarts/travelfunding. Note that applications need to be approved by the tutor, or the internship or thesis supervisor.
Each student may submit one application for no more than 300 euros during the research master’s programme.
After the event students should present a cost statement, listing all expenses made and including all invoices and receipts.
Testing human participants
Internships and the thesis research may involve the testing of human participants. Participants are preferably compensated for their time by means of course credits. Otherwise, participants can receive financial compensation paid from the research funding awarded to the member of staff supervising the student's study (e.g. NWO / ERC grants, Fonds van de Wetenschap). If the staff member cannot support the student financially, Nijmegen students are eligible to a financial contribution of maximally 500 euro in total from the Centre for Language Studies (CLS) to compensate participants for their time.
- Who: Nijmegen research master students
- What: subsidy of maximal 500 euro for compensating participants who are tested at a lab within CLS (accordingly to the hourly CLS rate)
