Discretionary Fund

The Discretionary Fund is available for UK students experiencing financial hardship at Robert Gordon University. The fund makes awards in the form of a grant which does not need to be repaid. Awards are intended to assist students with basic living expenses, study-related costs and travel to and from university. Funds cannot be used for the payment of tuition fees. To be eligible, students must be from Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland, be registered and attending an eligible course, have taken out their full entitlement to a student loan, have exhausted all other possible sources of funding available to them, and be able to prove they are in financial difficulty.
