EU & International Hardship Fund

EU & International Hardship Fund

The fund is to assist EU and International Students who have fallen into financial hardship after starting their course. If you started your course with suitable funding in place and now find yourself in financial hardship you could be eligible to apply

Eligibility

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.
