Hardship Fund

Applications Open on 1st August 2024 at 9am.

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, for example to help pay for food, transport or accommodation.

Futureworks has limited funds each year to help students who are experiencing financial hardship.  

Funding amount:  

Up to £500. Applications are reviewed on an individual basis, and payment will be made either via bank transfer or in the form of vouchers or travel tickets depending on what is needed.

Eligibility: 

Students must be:
• fully enrolled at Futureworks
• experiencing temporary financial hardship
• self-declared as one or more of the declared underrepresented groups
