Fundacija Študentski tolar, ustanova ŠOU v Ljubljani was established in 2006. Our primary purpose is to help university 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 and education. 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 higher 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, but we also work with other student of University of Ljubljana. On average, we include in our programs around 800 students annually.
The purpose of our organization is to reduce students’ social burdens and help socially disadvantaged students; to contribute to equality and accessible education. During our work, we cooperate with many different non-profitable organizations, which in their own programs include vast numbers of student of University of Ljubljana. Staff and participants involved in our work come from different field of studies and profiles.
