At its meeting 27/2014 on 26 June 2014, AYY Board approved a new scoring model for the allocation of operating grants (pdf). Operating grants are annually allocated in March-April to associations in the first list of AYY’s association register in order to support their continuous activities. Operating grants are the most significant form of assistance provided by AYY and annually circa EUR 62.000 is allocated as operating grants. In addition, single operating grants are allocated to associations, such as Probba and TF, on a decision of the Representative Council.

This new model favours more the small-scale associations to which AYY’s grants are more important. The relevance of the number of events and the size of the association on scoring has been reduced significantly. The new model particularly emphasises communality: the new scoring takes into account internationality, interdisciplinary and the participation in the building of the community, for example. The model is designed to support diverse and versatile activities that are suitable for Aalto community.

The new scoring model will be introduced when operating grants for the year of 2015 are allocated.
