offering a friendly home base with their own house/club, established along accepted lines with
regards to organization structure, aims, and activities. The association is completely
independent and open to all students irrespective of their study program and nationality.

Social Clubs receive a relatively high number of fixed grants because they all have a number of
permanent activities such as a bar committee, succession committee, and a society. In addition,
each association hosts one main event (Plato: Tilburg Student Festival; Olof: Hockey League,
I*ESN: board dinner; Vidar: Tilburg University Cantus).
