Arts and sports support for young people
Erzsébetváros Local Government, District VII, Budapest provides young people with a registered permanent or temporary address in District VII who actually live in District VII, attending primary or secondary school, for extracurricular arts and sports activities with financial support.
The support can be used for:
– fees for arts or sports activities, in particular institutional fees, tuition, membership fees, passes or training fees, or
– for arts activities, buying, renting or maintaining equipment
The support cannot be spent on sports equipment and sportswear .
The amount of support is up to HUF 70,000; in your application you must describe what you would use the amount for.
If you are eligible for support, we will sign a contract with you or – if you are under 18 – with your legal guardian. When signing the contract, we will ask to see an ID card.
You will receive the support after signing the contract and can use it within 10 months; the contract will specify this period exactly (support period).
Within 30 days after the end of the support period you must account for the support. To do so, you must submit a certified copy of the invoice for attending the arts or sports activity and, for arts support, for buying, renting or maintaining equipment.
Please note that if you cannot use the support for the planned purposes after all, let us know within the support period and we will amend your contract, because when accounting we can only accept invoices for items included in the contract.
If you are under 18, these documents must be submitted to us by your parent or legal guardian.
The support can be claimed once a year, but if you also applied for support for young talents in the same year, you cannot receive this support. If you received such support in the previous year, we can only grant new support once you have accounted for it.
