The UvA already had a top-level sports scheme for students who play tennis, football or another top-level sport at a high level, whereby these students are eligible for, for example, financial compensation in the event of study delay or advice on optimally combining study and sport. Now there is also such an arrangement for students who deliver top achievements in the cultural field.

Since 2017, top culture had already been included in the so-called Profiling Fund, which stipulated that this group of students could already submit an application for individual financial compensation in the event of study delay. The scheme will now stand on its own and, just like the elite sports scheme, will fall outside the Profiling Fund. As a result, in addition to financial compensation, students can now also qualify for adjustments in education, study planning or exams, for example.
