FAQs

I am working on a project outside my university studies can I apply?
The Student Project Fund is there to support university students to become work-ready by gaining practical skills as they complete their projects. If you are working on a personal unassessed project alongside your studies you are eligible to apply provided you meet ALL the other requirements.

Does it matter if I am a team or an individual?
Project teams or individual innovators are equally eligible to apply! Please let us know which one you are in the application.

I am part of Formula Student, can I apply for this fund?
If you are a Formula Student team, there is a separate sponsorship fund for you to apply for which will launch on November 1, 2024. 
 
I am not studying at a university in Spain, can I still apply?
Unfortunately not but other parts of the world have their own funds throughout the year, and will be added here.

What should I include in my project submission?
Please use the selection criteria, and the questions in the application form to help you structure your project submission. We are looking for the impact of your project, the vision of how the fund will help you, the impact of physical products, and sustainability considerations. 
 
Can I choose to receive cash instead of RS products?
No, the prize is only available as products from the RS Online store. You'll be able to choose the tools and components you need, but we don’t offer cash as an alternative.

I have another question, who can I ask?

Contact Sara or Stephany from our team at marketing.spain@rs.rsgroup.com, who will be able to help you.
