Block 3. Domain Job and Internship Mediation (105 grants)
These are associations and activities aimed at preparing students for their future careers. This
includes facilitation (social) internships and should concern non-commercial activities. For-profit
associations and/or activities that might yield a profit (by a third party) are wholly or partially
excluded.
‘Commercial’ is defined as follows: Commercial activities include those activities for which
payment is asked or can be asked. In other words, agreements are entered into between
students and a third party for which a kind of mediation fee might be required. Many activities
and foundations in the domain Job and Internship Mediation fall into this category. This definition
also applies to other foundations/associations in other domains if they enter into th ese kinds of
mediations and were to apply for grants.
1. Fixed grants
In the domain of Job and Internship Mediation, a maximum number of 20 fixed grants are
available. Because Tilburg University greatly appreciates the efforts in the area of Job and
Internship Mediation, the foundations may be awarded grants for the commitment of students.
We assume that a solid basis is necessary to maintain the foundation. For commercial tasks
(e.g. acquisition of internships / graduation assignments, networking, etc.) no grants are
awarded. A maximum number of 20 fixed grants are available in this domain per foundation
since they do not have any members and therefore also organize few to no activities as do board
members of associations with members. The Grants Committee determines the number of grants
awarded for each foundation. It is up to the foundations themselves to determine the distribution
of these grants between their board members.
2. Variable grants
The variable grants are based on a point system and should be reapplied for each year. To
apply for points for variable grants, proof of a committee needs to be provided. The associations
fill in the application form on the basis of criteria (tick which criteria app ly).
The domain Job and Internship Mediation mainly aims to find internships and work orders
(including exchange mediation) and match these with students to execute these assignments.
Despite the fact that mediations are considered commercial activities, and are therefore not
awarded points, extra points will be awarded for mediations for which a contract is signed. TiU
considers internships, traineeships, work experience, and exchange important enough to
stimulate foundations to find a maximum number of assignments. These grants should therefore
be seen as an appreciation for the commitment of active students. Appreciation is measured
according to this scheme:
Number of
Number of points
mediations
0-10

11-50

51-100

Please note: Where there is a demonstrably above-average time investment per mediation, the
Grants Committee may decide to double the number of mediations in the scheme above.
