King's Hardship Fund

The King's Hardship Fund is available to help Home students in need of financial support during their studies at King's College London. Awards made from the fund aim to assist with day-to-day living costs such as rent, utility bills, travel costs and other essential expenses. The fund is designed to provide support to students who do not meet the financial eligibility criteria of the King's Living Bursary but who need to access additional financial support. An award from the KHF cannot be used to pay tuition fees directly. The fund is available to both full-time and part-time students including undergraduate students not in receipt of the King's Living Bursary, students on postgraduate pre-registration courses, and postgraduate degree programme students. Applications are assessed under an 'additional need' methodology, which looks at the difference between accepted reasonable expenditure and expected funding. Awards are meant to be a contribution to funding rather than covering all financial needs.
