Fundacija Studentski tolar

Fundacija Študentski tolar, Ustanova ŠOU v Ljubljani (an Institution of the Student Organization of the University of Ljubljana) was established in 2006. Our primary purpose is to help students in need – we assign them nonrefundable financial and material resources, we organize language, professional and sports courses, and also offer them free psychotherapy sessions and various other forms of assistance. Our programs are designed to solve students' temporary social emergencies and help socially disadvantaged students. With our work, we strive to ensure equality in the accessibility of higer education and create new opportunities for ensuring the minimum level of the quality of students' lives. Our programes are designed for young people in social emergencies. However, our primary target audience consists of students who are enrolled in one of the members of the Student Organization of the University of Ljubljana, which includes 30 higher education institutions. On average, we help around 600 students annually. Most of our programs run continuously throughout the whole year, while some activities are limited to an appointed period of time within the academic year.
