If you are in urgent need, your university, students' union, and local charities may be able to help. This page explains common options — it is not an application service.
Many universities offer hardship funds for students facing unexpected financial difficulty. Contact your university's student finance or welfare team for criteria and deadlines.
Some charities and trusts provide one-off grants. Eligibility varies; you will usually need to evidence your situation.
Food banks and community hubs can provide short-term support. Your students' union can often signpost local services.
Student unions offer advice services and can help you understand options on campus and in your city.
