What support is there if I'm struggling financially?

For any student experiencing financial difficulties, we would recommend booking an appointment with one our Student Money Advice team advisers. Or if you have a specific question, you can also raise an enquiry with them through the MySurrey Hive using Surrey Support, and selecting "Money and Finance" as your enquiry topic.

You can also find general money support tips, including budgeting, at our partner organisation Blackbullion.

We can talk through options that may be available to you, including the hardship fund.

Please read the eligibility criteria carefully and upload any relevant documentation if you decide to apply to the Hardship Fund. The Hardship Fund is there to help with living costs, we are not able to provide support for tuition fees.

Please note that an application to the Hardship Fund does not guarantee an award. If you are not sure whether to make an application, or just wish to discuss your situation, please contact the MySurrey Hive team via Surrey Support, and select "Money and Finance" as your enquiry topic.
