Are you an undergraduate UK student who has been income assessed by Student Finance and are in receipt of an income assessed student loan?
Or a postgraduate UK student who has made adequate provision to cover their tuition fees and living costs before the start of their course (without having to rely on applying to this hardship fund)?
If so, you may be eligible to apply for additional financial support via the Access to Learning Fund (ALF).
You can find more information regarding the ALF, including eligibility criteria and how to apply, on the University website.
If you would like to make an application you will need to make an appointment with your Union Advice Centre.
Canterbury students should contact the Mandela Reception in person or on 01227 827724.
Medway students should contact the GK Unions Advice Centre in person, by email on advice@gkunions.co.uk or on 01634 888989.
Please note that if you are eligible to apply to ALF you will need to complete the application form and take it along to your appointment with all relevant supporting documentation.
ALF awards are discretionary so there is no guarantee of an award.
