How do you apply?

We've made the process of applying as easy as we can whilst also protecting the importance of this fund. All applications are made through our online form but before you start make sure you have the following information to hand:

• Name
• Email address
• Group the application is in reference to
• How much you are asking for? The maximum we offer is £200
• What you are asking the fund to cover
• Evidence of your financial commitments
  • Rent
  • Monthly bills
  • Monthly costs of living
  • Any other relevant commitments
• Two months' bank statements (attached as a PDF) for each account you hold. If you don't attach them, your application will be automatically declined
• Your student loan details and amounts (attached as a document or listed)
• Bank account details for a successful grant to be paid into (including sort code, account number, and the name as it appears on the card). Just so you know, we are unable to pay into international accounts.
• Please note that if we find evidence of a second account or a savings account that you have not shared with us, your application will be declined
• Additionally, if your bank balance shows more than £1,000 that you cannot justify, your application will be declined.
