Emergency Aid Fund

main content

The Student Financial Support Office has a short-term, interest-free emergency loan facility to assist in cases of serious, immediate financial hardship. You can borrow up to a maximum of £100 per day, up to a total of £350.  Repayment of the loan is normally set to coincide with your next Student Loan, Stipend or Wages.  It is important that loans are repaid by the agreed date so that we can continue to assist students in financial difficulty.  Please note that you will not be permitted to graduate if you have any outstanding debts to the University.   Please visit the Student Financial Support Office, level 1, McCance Building if you would like to discuss this matter.  Alternatively, please call our office on 0141 548 2753 or email s.finance@strath.ac.uk for further details.  Please note that this loan facility is open to Home students only. 

EU and international students should contact Ms Melanie Fariss, Senior Student Information and Advice Officer, Information and Advice Office, level 1, McCance Building, tel 0141 548 5875 or email melanie.fariss@strath.ac.uk to discuss cases of serious and immediate financial hardship.
