Acknowledgements awarded at the AYY14 Annual Ball
Badges of merit and honor are awarded yearly as acknowledgements for active contributions in support of AYY and its objectives. There are three kinds of badges of merit and honor: the community badge, the badge of merit and the badge of honor. In addition, AYY has a special acknowledgement; the hero badge. In addition, a miniature flag and AYY's sash may also be awarded.
In addition to badges, AYY also awards other forms of acknowledgement to members of the Aalto community and for actions that have impacted the community.
You can read further information on the acknowledgements on this page.

The proposal for an overall reform of student financial aid is disappointing
Aalto University Student Union (AYY) made a statement on the legislative proposal of the Ministry of Education and Culture concerning the comprehensive reform of student financial aid. The proposal is disappointing because it does not solve the core problems of student financial aid or improve the livelihoods of students.
A promise of free education is not enough
The Ministry of Education and Culture has published a vision for higher education and research for 2040, which is intended to guide the direction of Finland's higher education policy. Increasing the number of university graduates in the young age group to 60 per cent, as proposed by the vision, requires investments and ambition from decision-makers. In this blog, Totti Korpua, AYY’s Advocacy Specialist, discusses the significance of the vision for students.
