Access to Learning Fund
Free Money.
The Access to Learning Fund can provide extra money if you are in financial hardship and need help for your course or to stay in higher education.
Each University has a fairly large amount of money that they have to dish out each year to their students.
You can get anything between £50 and £3000 based on your personal circumstances.
What do I do?
Go to your student finance office and get an "Access to Learning Fund" form and fill it out, You'll have to be in some financial hardship to get it abd they give preference to:
- Students with children
- Students with low income backgrounds
- Students with a disability
- Mature students with existing financial commitments
- Final year students
If you don't fit under this umbrella but still are in the schizzle with money, the chances are they'll still give you some. The majority of students we know who have applied have got some.
The form takes 20 minutes to fill in, even if you get £50, that's £150 per hour!
