Every student deserves the chance to engage fully in their university journey without financial worries. Unfortunately, unexpected expenses can turn this goal into a daily struggle.
The Hardship Fund is a vital safety net supported by our generous alumni community, helping students facing unforeseen financial challenges. All awards made from the fund are to assist with living, travel and study costs.
Thanks to your generosity, we've already assisted over 200 students in need. However, this year, we're seeing a staggering 32% increase in applications for support. With rising living costs, our resources are stretched thin, and sadly, we’ve had to turn away some who needed help. Your contribution could make all the difference for a student, allowing them to continue their education. Every gift has the power to change a life today.
Here are a few heartfelt stories from students supported by the Hardship Fund, highlighting the impact of your generosity:
