Supporting our Hardship Funds ensures students have a place to turn when the unexpected happens. You can help provide a safety net during uncertain times.

Our students come to Glasgow to realise their dream of a University of Glasgow education. However, sometimes unexpected financial crisis, beyond their control, can jeopardize that dream. When that happens, hardship funds offer a lifeline, often making the difference between continuing education or having to walk away.

The combined impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the cost of living crisis, and accommodation issues have significantly increased the demand for hardship funds. Your donation will provide critical support when it is needed most. Thanks to your generosity, students can continue their studies and realise their dreams, despite financial difficulties.

"The Hardship Fund is imperative to students struggling financially. A small grant can alleviate short term financial worries and frees up students to focus on their studies. It really can be the difference between a student continuing their studies or having to walk away from the University" - Neil Woodside, Academic Services Financial Aid Manager.

A gift of:

• £65 could pay for one week’s food

• £90 could pay a student’s electricity bill for a month

• £750 could pay a student’s rent for a month

• £10 a month could help a student from overseas get home in an emergency

"This payment has made finishing university all that bit easier. I am an independent student and completing university has been a difficult experience in itself, losing the security and support that being a student provides." - Hardship recipient

Whether you donate monthly or with a single donation, please help support a student in crisis by making a donation to our hardship funds today. Thank you for making a difference.
