The Living Costs Fund, which will open in October, is designed to provide a safety net to help you to continue to study as you adjust to higher living costs.
The fund can help you with your most immediate need providing an amount of money or a voucher that will help you buy some food, toiletries, pay part of a bill, or rent, or childcare costs. The fund is limited, benefitting more students, more often.
You do not have to pay back the money or the voucher.
You can reapply to the fund if your circumstances change and you are struggling with an unexpected cost or higher living costs.
