LSBU’s discretionary hardship fund, open to all fully enrolled students on all programmes. Open all year round, see below for more information.
Alongside the financial awards, the above support packages also include a point of contact, access to one-to-one advice and guidance, support groups and priority opportunities across the university for a student’s duration of studies at LSBU, see below for more information.
Eligible students will be contacted automatically in the second half of semester one, and bursaries usually awarded in two instalments. We ask students to verify with Student Finance, and at LSBU share information on their enrolment application and complete the Personal Development Plan so the Student Advice Team can easily contact them. If in doubt, please get in touch with the team.
