Additional Support Fund - Undergraduates

The Additional Support Fund provides financial assistance for students in extremely difficult financial circumstances. The fund is designed to support undergraduate students with 'Home' status, who need financial help to meet costs that cannot be met from other sources of income.

A payment can be available to students to help them with the cost of food, bills, travel to ICMP, Internet and technology including a contribution towards the cost of a laptop (for those students who do not have equipment to access online learning at home). Other essential provisions can include prescriptions and medication and support towards the cost of a hostel or travel to a safe space for students who are made homeless.

• Care Leavers and Care Experienced students.
• Estranged students and therefore assessed as Independent by the Student Loans Company.
