In 2006, the ISO and the LSVb jointly established the healthcare collective Good Insurance for Students. The aim of Good Insurance for Students is to offer students good quality health insurance at a favourable price-quality ratio. Furthermore, the Dutch National Students Association (ISO) and the National Student Union (LSVb) want to contribute to student well-being in a broad sense. They do this through the Student Welfare Fund (Studentenwelzijn Fonds). This fund finances projects that contribute (locally) to the (collective) physical and/or mental well-being of students in higher education. Most importantly, projects contribute to student well-being. It makes sense to link up with national developments. The Student welface actions plan (only avaidable in Dutch), drawn up by the Student Welfare Platform and supported by ISO and LSVb, identifies the following five themes:

  • Creating awareness for student well-being
  • Bonding and a safe educational climate
  • Prevention and Early Detection
  • Assistance and Psychosocial interventionss
These themes are not fixed guidelines for the fund and therefore not exhaustive, but are mentioned here to give you an idea of the types of projects we like to support.
