Eligibility

Is this for you?

Registered students of the University shall be eligible to apply to the Fund if they meet the following criteria:

  • You have fallen into financial hardship after starting your course of study with an appropriate funding arrangement in place
  • You are not eligible to apply to the University Discretionary Fund by virtue of your residence status
  • A payment from the fund would make a significant contribution to your ability to continue your studies successfully; and
  • You are unable to meet your immediate living costs through your existing funding.

The level of award will be judged on a case to case basis. Awards are around £300-£500 and are intended to meet immediate short term living costs. Because of this the fund cannot be used to replace a regular income. Awards will normally be made in the form of a grant.
