Hardship Funds

The hardship fund provides extra support to students who need extra help. This might be because your costs are higher than expected (for example, if you're a single parent) or if you run into unexpected financial difficulties during your course. You can use hardship fund money to help with course-related costs like travel and childcare costs, living expenses and books. This help does not have to be repaid.

The college or university will decide which students will receive payments and how much each payment will be (it will depend on your circumstances). For more details, ask at your college or university.
