The Fund is available to provide discretionary financial help for undergraduate, postgraduate and Research, overseas and EU students, not in receipt of a maintenance loan, who have experienced unexpected financial hardship due to unforeseen circumstances. The IHF is intended as a safety net for students in financial difficulty, not their main source of support.
Students in their first year of study will not be able to apply until semester two. It is a requirement that students must be able to demonstrate that they have made adequate provision to fund both their tuition fees and living costs before starting their course.
