Financial support for final year home students who are in hardship.

Overview

The purpose of this fund is to provide final year students, who are in hardship, with a bursary to help alleviate some of their financial pressures in the run up to final exams or coursework deadlines. This bursary has been made available through the Hallam Fund.

What you could receive

Successful applicants will be awarded £100.

Who can apply

You can apply for the scheme name if you:

• are enrolled in the 2023/24 academic year

• are a UK or ‘home’ fee status student
• are paying a tuition fee to the University (or in receipt of a tuition fee loan to cover this amount)

You will need to complete an online application form. The form will ask you to provide balance screenshots or bank statements from all of your accounts.

What happens next

Your form will be assessed. If we require further information or evidence from you, we will send an email to your Hallam email address. If you do not respond to a request for further information or evidence in a timely manner, your application will take longer to process, and your application may be closed.
