We understand that you may experience financial difficulties during your time at MDX. We're here to help you and have a wide variety of additional financial support options to fund or part-fund your education.
Financial Support is available for students who have had an unexpected emergency and are in immediate need of some financial support. The fund supports UK, EU and International students studying full-time or part-time
Applications for the fund are assessed on individual financial need with evidence.
Successful applications typically receive £200 - £500 and/or food vouchers for one week’s food. The money/vouchers are not repayable.
You can apply to the fund for immediate needs including food, utility bills, interim payments while you await benefits, technology costs for online learning.
