About the fund

The Exceptional Hardship Fund is intended to provide prompt, small awards to students to address a specific financial situation that has arisen due to exceptional or unforeseen circumstances.

We have a strictly limited amount of money available each year and awards can only be made where there are available funds. In normal circumstances awards will not exceed £400 across the year for any student.

There is no automatic entitlement to an award from the fund and all applications are considered on their individual merits.
To be eligible for consideration for an award, you must have been registered on a credit bearing course at the University during the current academic year.
