The development of these projects is endowed for degree students with the academic recognition of three ECTS credits and with a financial grant of €600 in total, distributed in monthly payments of €100 from November 2019 to April 2020. The amount of this grant is subject to income tax withholding.
All beneficiaries will have to complete two online modules: one module on the Conceptual Framework of Volunteering and Social Participation, and another module on one of the areas in which their activity is carried out (cultural, social inclusion, attention to diversity, etc.). Exempted from this obligation are those who have taken the courses in previous years.
The University Participation and Integration Service will be in charge of providing the contents of the modules by e-mail.
At the end of the project, they must submit a report to the director of the residence or college that includes, among other aspects, the activities carried out and the academic, personal and professional learning achieved.
Failure to comply with any of the duties of this call by the beneficiaries could result in the loss of the 3 ECTS credits, the withdrawal of financial aid, or the request for reimbursement of the amount already received by the scholarship holder.
The assessment and selection of applications will be carried out in each centre by an Assessment Committee made up of the centre's management staff, chaired by the director, the governor and two members of the resident or student council.
The following scale will be used for the assessment of applications:
- Report on activities to be carried out. Originality will be valued. The maximum length shall be 5 DIN-A4 pages, double-spaced. The score will be between 0 and 5 points.
- The financial score for access to the SUR. The score will be between 0 and 2.5 points.
- Academic record, curriculum, merits or experience accredited by the applicants oriented to the project requested, as well as positive reports on the performance of other scholarships in the SUR. The score will be between 0 and 2.5 points.
The gender perspective will be assessed in the reports provided and in the corresponding development of the activities.
In order to qualify as a beneficiary, a minimum score of 2.5 points must be obtained in the assessment of the activities report.
Projects may be declared void at the discretion of the Assessment Committee.
Once the assessment phase is completed, the provisional list of beneficiaries of the collaboration projects will be published on 7 October on the information boards of the SUR centres authorised for this process.
Claims against this provisional list may be submitted to the centre's management until 2:00 p.m. on 11 October.
The final list of beneficiaries will be published on 15 October on the notice boards of the SUR centres.
Beneficiaries must sign a document of acceptance of conditions that includes their commitment to complete the training modules corresponding to the type of project they are applying for, and to successfully complete the activities of their project.
It will be their duty to fulfil all the functions of the project they were awarded, together with those contributions that may be made through the centre's management and taking into account the coordination goals established in this call. They will also have to submit reports on the work carried out in the first half of February, and the final report in the second half of May, to the centre's management.
The assistant directors will ensure the correct undertaking of the activities corresponding to each project, with the collaboration of the governor of each centre. At the end of their activity, the centre's management will assess the fulfilment of the beneficiaries' duties by means of a positive or negative report on the activities carried out during the period of the corresponding project.
The activities must be carried out from the day following the award of the projects until 30 April 2020.
