PLEASE NOTE THE UNION'S HARDSHIP FUND IS CLOSED AS IT HAS USED UP ALL ITS FUNDS. IT WILL REOPEN IN AUG 25

Your Union at UWS has access to an emergency hardship fund which we use to support students who find themselves in need of acute financial assistance.

Who can access the fund?

All students who study at UWS can be eligible to get a hardship payment from us. However we tend to prioritise students who are:

  • Nursing students
  • International Students - EU and Non-EU
  • Student parents & students with carer responsibilites

However, if required we will help any student who is enrolled at UWS.

How much can you receive?

The Hardship fund is small, therefore the fund is limited to assisting with short-term financial problems. If you are experiencing more long term financial problems, you should seek assistance from Student Services. Individual awards will vary with circumstance.

How do I request money from the hardship fund?

Hardships are issued by our Advice Workers. You should contact them by sending an email to advice@uwsunion.org.uk to arrange an appointment.
