Student Support Fund Application Process
The application process opens in October each year.
Application steps
- Submit your application
After your application is received, it can take up to 20 working days / 4 weeks to be processed. - Reviewing your information and evidence
Once submitted, your application can take up to a further 20 working days to be assessed. If the appropriate documentation hasn’t been submitted or further clarification is needed on your current financial situation, you will either be asked to address this or to book an appointment with a Money and Support Adviser. - Assessment complete
Once an application is complete and all the relevant information is accounted for, an email will be sent to your student email account notifying you of a decision.
What happens next?
If you’re awarded money
An award email will be sent to your student email account with information on how to claim the award.
If your application is declined
A decline email will be sent to your student email account. If you’re unhappy with the decision made by the Panel, you can either appeal against the decision, or if your financial circumstances have changed since the submission of your application form, you can ask the Panel to review your case.
