Student Society sponsorship opportunities from the University Library
The University Library is delighted to announce our 2026-27 sponsorship opportunity for student societies. Ten grants worth £300 each are available and the funds can be spent on any society focussed requirements.
In return we would like to invite sponsored student societies to support collaborative working between librarians and students. As part of the sponsorship, we ask that societies commit to support one or more of the following activities in the Library's Digital Commons (in the Information Commons):
Digital creativity
Reading groups
Student exhibitions
We also ask that you attend a welcome event in October 2026 and a celebration event in April 2027.
Find out more about the work you will be involved in:
Lib Fest and the Digital Commons programme.
Applications should be made by the Society President, or equivalent, and submitted using this form.
The deadline for applications is 1 October 2026.
Successful societies will be invited to an induction event on 14th October 2026 and from there collaborations with the library will be formed.
