The Student Support Fund is a fund for fully enrolled students to apply if they have exhausted all other options. The fund is in place to act as a safety net for students who find themselves struggling financially during their studies. It can help with unexpected issues that are causing a serious financial burden, or short-term issues – such as unexpected bereavement, forced moving costs, or a sudden loss of income.

If you would like support with money worries and financial difficulty, please look to our MyAccount FAQs including how to book an appointment with the Student Advice Team for one to one support:
