About FPSA
Connecting Associations. Empowering Students.
The Federation of Purple Study Associations (FPSA) is an independent umbrella organisation representing study associations affiliated with Fontys University of Applied Sciences.
Founded in 2020, FPSA brings study associations together, represents their collective interests, and strengthens collaboration between student organisations and Fontys.
We support association boards through networking, knowledge sharing, leadership development, and advocacy. Our focus is on creating a connected, inclusive, and socially safe student community where every association has the opportunity to grow and thrive.
Together, we strengthen study associations and enrich student life.
