Hardship Fund - What is it?
The University’s Hardship Fund provides a grant to students who find themselves in financial hardship due to unforeseen circumstances since starting the course. The purpose of the Hardship Fund is to provide support for students who would not otherwise be able to continue to study. The fund cannot help with tuition fee payments.
Hardship Fund Summer Scheme for Undergraduates 鈥� What is it?
The Hardship Fund Summer Scheme is intended to help undergraduate students who face financial difficulties during the summer vacation. Financial assistance may be granted if students are living independently over the summer, possibly due to being a care leaver or estranged from their family. It can also help those who are from low-income backgrounds living in the parental home over the summer, students prevented from supporting themselves due to caring responsibilities or students who have other family, personal or health difficulties which make it necessary to stay in 台湾六合彩开奖记录. It is expected that students will attempt to find paid work or other means of supporting themselves over the summer but should explain if they have reasonable grounds for not doing so.
Emergency Hardship Loan 鈥� What is it?
The University can provide you with an Emergency Hardship Loan up to £250 depending on need. This is short term and attracts no interest or charges, unlike an unauthorised overdraft or payday loan.
