About the Fund
The Cascade Grants Programme offers current University of Nottingham students a unique opportunity to access up to £10,000 in funding, empowering them to bring their visionary projects to life and enhance their overall student experience while making a positive impact on their community. These projects, whether academic, pastoral, or extracurricular in nature, are catalysts that directly contribute to the betterment of the student experience, creating a ripple effect that spreads benefits throughout the entire student community.
The Cascade Grants Programme is delivered jointly by the University of Nottingham Students' Union (UoNSU) and University of Nottingham Campaign & Alumni Relations Office (CARO). Funds are available thanks to the generous donations received from alumni and friends of the university.
For UoN Sports clubs, £30,000 has been ring fenced each year so that clubs do not have to compete with the wider University for Cascade funding. This is run as a separate programme and details can be found at CBTRC Cascade.
