The cost of living crisis is hitting students especially hard, but you can help Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ students overcome financial crisis.

Last year was very difficult for many students as cost-of-living pressures hit hard. Despite the measures the University put in place, many students were living off campus in very cold conditions, visiting food banks and regularly skipping meals. 

The rapid rise in the cost of living means a student loan isn’t enough to make ends meet. Paying the rent and finding money for food and other essentials is now so much harder.

Today’s students are facing financial challenges unlike any generation before them and requests for hardship support are higher than ever. They need your help.

More than one in four students at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ are from low-income households and the cost-of-living crisis is hitting them especially hard. Money worries can impact on academic performance and be a tipping point for wellbeing concerns, so it’s more vital than ever that help is on-hand.

The Student Support Fund provides emergency hardship grants to students in crisis when they have run out of other options and dropping out of university is a very real possibility.

You can provide the necessities when students have no one else to turn to.

With costs on the rise, students have even less room in their budgets for emergencies. Your support will help more students like Phebe to overcome financial difficulties and receive the support they need. 

Please give a gift today and help more students to overcome financial emergencies.
