Grant Applications

Simple Student Group Funding Applications

When student groups want to get things done, accessing funding shouldn’t be the barrier that stands in the way. Yet traditional paper forms, office drop-ins, and endless email trails often turn a simple funding request into a frustrating admin marathon.

MSL’s Grant Applications cuts through the clutter, replacing manual processes with a configurable online system that keeps both students and staff firmly in control.

Trusted by Student Groups and Activities Teams

Organisations across the sector rely on MSL’s Grant Applications to transform the way they manage funding and support student groups.

Grant Applications isn’t just about reducing admin; it’s about simplifying processes to enable student groups to do more with their members. Whether it’s for freshers and fundraising events, equipment purchasing, or organising a big trip, the Grant Application module ensures that applying for funding is straightforward, transparent, secure and accessible. The same tools can also be used to run bursary or grant schemes, giving individual students the opportunity to apply directly for financial support.

Empower Student Groups to Achieve More

With Grant Applications, student groups can apply for funding online, guided through a configurable workflow tailored to your specific requirements. There’s no longer any need to juggle paper forms or pop by the activities office, committees' complete applications anytime, from anywhere.

Applications can be tracked in real time, with email updates automatically sent to the group’s primary contact, plus any additional contacts with the right permissions. If committee members change during the year, ownership of applications can easily be transferred to ensure continuity.

Benefits for student groups: 

Grant Applications gives student committees a clear, simple way to apply for funding online using a guided, step-by-step workflow. There’s no need to wrestle with outdated paper forms or vague processes – students can track their application’s progress, receive automated status updates, and stay in the loop without chasing for information. If committee roles change, applications can be quickly and securely transferred to the new lead contact, ensuring continuity throughout the academic year.

Benefits for staff:  

Staff teams can configure the module to reflect their exact funding criteria – setting up categories, eligibility rules, and custom forms with ease. Incoming applications are easy to manage and review within a central dashboard, with clear workflows that keep everything moving. Once funds are allocated, usage can be tracked against budget, and a full audit trail captures every change or decision. With customisable reports and real-time insights at your fingertips, you’ll finally be free of spreadsheet overload and inbox chaos.  

All this together means you can say goodbye to messy admin and hello to smarter funding!
