Financial Support for Graduate Students

Please provide full details of your confirmed or expected income for the current year and each future academic year of your course. Totals should be in GBP and you should include all sources of funding, including any funds received towards University and College fees. If your course is longer than four years, please complete another copy of the page for any additional years. Next to each question that requires documentary evidence you will find the * symbol. Failure to provide documentary evidence could result in the delay of processing your application.

If you are applying for assistance with non-standard expenses above the University’s estimated lower range living costs, such as those related to dependants or a medical condition, please complete the table below to provide an estimate of your monthly outgoings. This should be completed in addition to the supporting statement in which you should explain why you believe these costs should be taken into account when considering you for an award. As a guide, we have included the University’s estimated lower range living costs for 2023-24. These figures are based on a single, full-time student with no dependants living in college accommodation (including utility bills).

Please explain why you are applying to this fund. You should include the following:

• How you were intending to fund your studies. If your financial situation has changed since your studies began please explain why this could not have been predicted at the start of your course.
• What steps you are taking to find alternative funding and how you will fund future years.
• Any exceptional expenses, for example: essential car costs, a breakdown of childcare costs or costs associated with dependants.
• A brief justification of the minimum hardship amount you have estimated below.

In order for applications to be considered, they will need to be viewed by the Bursar, Senior Tutor and Chaplain and other relevant College staff.
