International Hardship Fund

This fund is for EU students without a maintenance loan and international students who have experienced unexpected short-term costs.

The Fund is available to provide discretionary financial help for undergraduate, postgraduate and Research, overseas and EU students, not in receipt of a maintenance loan, who have experienced unexpected financial hardship due to unforeseen circumstances. The IHF is intended as a safety net for students in financial difficulty, not their main source of support. The maximum award is £1,000 per academic year.

• Unforeseen short‐term accommodation costs
• Unforeseen short‐term subsistence costs
• Unforeseen one‐off technology costs for your studies
• Unforeseen one‐off travel costs.
