Each year, the Young Urbanists run the Small Grant Scheme which aims to support projects delivering tangible outputs and benefits to the YU network within the realm of urbanism. After a call for submissions and an application process, two inspiring and ambitious projects are awarded a grant of up to £500 to facilitate their innovative project idea.

The YU Small Grant Scheme aims to disseminate learning on urbanism with Young Urbanist members and Academicians and support the aims of The Academy of Urbanism as outlined in our Manifesto.

The deadline for submitting proposals is 15 December 2024
