Have A Seat
If you adopt a chair, your name and favorite quote will be placed on a chair of your choice in a brand new lecture hall on the Tilburg University campus. For only €50 a year (for a period of 5 years) you can ‘sit’ next to your friends and former classmates, teachers or students. Adopt a chair and provide the next generation of students with a seat. That seat will give them the chance to study at Tilburg University and develop their talents.

Support young talent
With your chair you will give young talent a chance to study at Tilburg University and to further develop themselves, just like you did. The raised funds go to:
- Talented top student athletes who need financial support to participate in a match or training abroad.
- Excellent international students who would like to obtain a Master’s degree in Tilburg, but who cannot afford it without your help.
- Students who need a (small) financial contribution to finish their studies because of extreme external circumstances.
“An alumni funded scholarship would allow me to combine my study and top-level sports.”

"Omdat schaaktoernooien nogal lang kunnen duren en vaak in het buitenland zijn is deelname vaak prijzig. Door het Have a Seat beurzenprogramma is het voor mij makkelijker om dit te bekostigen."

"De beurs zorgt er voor mij toe dat ik onbezorgd de wedstrijd in kon gaan en enkel kon focussen op de sportieve prestaties zonder mijzelf druk te moeten maken om de randzaken."
