The
EU Hardship Fund
provides discretionary financial assistance to help you to access and remain in higher education, particularly if you need financial help to meet additional costs that cannot be met using other sources of support. The fund can help to alleviate unexpected financial hardship.
If you are an EU student, you must have sufficient income to cover your living and housing costs initially before we can consider you for an award. To reflect this, a Minimum Required Provision (MRP) of £219 per week will be applied to full-time EU applications (£175 to those with dependents or who have a disability).
Although some EU students may receive some support from it, the
EU Hardship Fund
will not be sufficient as an income in its own right and can only be seen as a supplement to funding from other sources. The fund cannot pay tuition fees.
Students must be eligible for and in receipt of the Student Finance EU Tuition Fee Loan to be considered for this fund.
