External Members for independence for NUS Scotland subcommittee

NUS Scotland is one of the most influential campaigning organisations in Scotland, securing significant wins for students and promoting the importance of strong students’ associations. In Scotland we represent 500,000 students, with 32 students’ associations in our membership, including all college associations.

At NUS Scotland we’ve channelled that power in the last year to win £millions of new funding for student hardship, digital poverty, mental health and student associations.

In March 2022, a policy was passed at NUS Scotland Conference calling for an independent NUS Scotland. That proposal established the democratic will of students in Scotland via their delegates to the conference to actively explore what independence for NUS Scotland would look like and take the work forward as a political priority. As a result, the NUS board has established a subcommittee (‘the advisory group’) to steer the organisation through an explorative phase on the future set-up of NUS Scotland and its relationship with NUS UK.

The advisory group will be made up of four board members, four external positions and four elected positions representing NUS Scotland’s membership. We are seeking to appoint four people to act as external members of the committee to provide advice, expertise and knowledge to the work of setting up an Independent NUS Scotland.
