Student Support Fund

The Student Support Fund provides financial assistance for students at Sidney Sussex College who experience unforeseen financial difficulties. The Fund can provide discretionary grants, typically ranging from reimbursement of incidental expenses incurred through illness, to partial rent rebates, to larger grants of several hundred pounds. This is a hardship fund specifically designed to help current students facing temporary financial challenges that cannot be resolved through rescheduling of college bills. Applications are considered on a rolling basis, and students should contact the Postgraduate Tutors who will help them liaise with the finance office about available support. Approximately 20 awards are available each year, with grants typically up to £500 as one-off payments. A budget form must be completed in advance of application.
