UWE Bristol
UWE Bristol Student Support Fund
Eligibility to check
The published route is for UK undergraduate and postgraduate students. International students have separate support routes. Funds may close early when the budget is exhausted.
Application steps
Read the fund criteria and evidence requirements on the official page.
Sign in to InfoHub and follow the online application form.
Complete the financial-learning module specified on UWE’s official page and provide the supporting evidence requested. Follow the university’s current instructions.
Grant or loan?
Student Support Fund awards are distinct from UWE’s separate short-term loan scheme. Confirm the terms of your award; do not confuse a hardship payment with a repayable loan.
The official emergency route has registration and available-money conditions and excludes some student categories. Check the full criteria before applying.
Application steps
Check the Financial Assistance Fund eligibility and supporting-document list.
Follow the application route linked on the university’s fund page.
If the form or required evidence is unclear, contact the university’s money advice team. A complete portal sequence is not publicly verified here.
Grant or loan?
The university describes this emergency support as non-repayable, with food vouchers and/or a cash award.
Priority UK-domiciled groups are listed on the public page. International students, postgraduate researchers and students outside those groups may be considered only in exceptional or emergency circumstances.
Application steps
Read the public financial-difficulties guidance.
Sign in to iCity for the Financial Assistance Fund form, full criteria and terms.
Complete the income-and-expenditure information and evidence requested there. For urgent help, arrange a private meeting with the Money and Childcare Advice Team.
Grant or loan?
Read the fund’s terms in iCity and confirm whether your particular support needs repayment. The separate emergency fund has a different access process.
The public page signposts support through the Student Funding Office and Students’ Union. Full fund eligibility and online application steps must be confirmed with them.
Application steps
Open Coventry’s official financial-support page.
Follow its Students’ Union signpost for the University Support Fund or contact the Student Funding Office.
Ask for the current application route, eligibility and evidence checklist. This link is an advice page, not a direct application form.
Grant or loan?
Coventry also offers separate small emergency loans to UK students. Confirm whether the support offered is a grant or a repayable loan.
The published criteria exclude specified student types, including apprenticeships, distance learning and some partner courses. Check your course and fee-status eligibility with the fund team.
Application steps

Apply through e:Vision and complete the Financial Wellbeing Review.
Gather and upload the requested evidence through the Student Hub application route, then submit. Follow the evidence page if returning to a saved application.

Consider the adviser appointment recommended by the university before applying.
Use the application form linked from the current official page. Confirm the evidence list and any sign-in requirements with the adviser; do not rely on older policy documents.

Application steps
Read the official Financial Assistance Fund guidance.
Call the Financial Support team or complete the short support form linked on the page.
Discuss your circumstances with the team and follow their assessment and evidence instructions. Ask about separate emergency support if the need is urgent.

Application steps
Read the undergraduate fund eligibility on NTU’s official page.
Follow the linked undergraduate hardship application and residence screening.
Complete the online form and supply the evidence requested. Postgraduate and international students should check their separate support route rather than use this undergraduate form.
Grant or loan?
The undergraduate support fund is a grant, not a loan.
Published 2026–27 terms include home-fee eligibility, a UK bank account and sharing financial information through Open Banking. Overseas-fee students are directed to the International Emergency Fund. No automatic entitlement.
Application steps
Read the current Hallam Hardship Fund page and 2026–27 terms.
