Hardship Fund

Curious?

Turbulent times call for curious minds. The ripple effects of the pandemic, the profound impact of conflict and wars, and growing global inequality compounded by sharp increases in the cost of living mean that our students’ lives are less certain than ever. Financial aid has never been so much in demand. 

Shaping the world? 

Our Hardship Fund provides immediate support to students who have fallen into short-term, unforeseen financial difficulties. Demand for hardship funding has increased significantly since the pandemic, with the School awarding 593 hardship bursaries in the last 3 years alone. The cost-of-living crisis is creating new hardship and uncertainty for students in the UK and around the world, and we expect that demand for emergency support will continue to grow. Let’s make even more available this year to ensure our most vulnerable students can continue with their studies and complete their degree.
