Deadline: Last day of the academic year in Semester 2 or until funds are available in accordance with the budget. The hardship fund is limited by the total size of the budgeted funds. It is allocated on a first come, first served basis.
It is expected that students have measures in place to pay for their tuition fees and living costs whilst at Futureworks. However, we understand that students may find themselves in financial difficulty for a variety of reasons whilst they are studying with us.
The Hardship Fund is a discretionary fund available to undergraduate students to provide some relief from unforeseen financial hardship.
Futureworks has limited funds each year to help students who are experiencing financial hardship.
Funding amount:
Up to £500, paid directly to you.
Eligibility:
Students must be:
• fully enrolled at Futureworks
• experiencing temporary financial hardship
• self-declared as one or more of the declared underrepresented groups
• Any year of student can apply for a hardship fund
Process:
Applications will be reviewed & approved by the Access & Participation Steering Group panel.
All applications will be anonymised prior to the panel review. In arriving at its decisions, the panel will use a points system with applicants receiving points for each underrepresented group of which they have self-declared. Applicants who fall into multiple categories will receive three points for each category.
Applicants will be weighted according to their total scores, and they will be considered by the panel in order of weighting. In arriving at their decisions, the panel will judge the motivation and potential of the applicant through reference to their personal statement required as part of the application process.
You will be informed of the outcome of your application within 10 working days.
Please do not assume that an application will be successful, nor anticipate any amount that may be received, as awards are discretionary and not guaranteed.
