Financial hardship

Whether your Student Finance England funding has been delayed, or you are generally experiencing financial hardship due to circumstances beyond your control, don't panic - help is at hand.

In addition to our Student Financial Consultants being here on both Sunderland campuses to give you one-to-one guidance if you have financial problems, you may also find this information useful if you are struggling financially while you are on your course.

You can find details about our Student Support Fund (the University's hardship fund), other funding sources that may be available to you, help in dealing with debt or what to do if your student funding is going to be late.

Some students struggle with managing their money while at university, so you may find our budgeting information a good place to begin, where you'll also find details about PANDA budgeting tool, part of the the University of Sunderland's app.

Feel free to contact us about any financial matters - we offer confidential, free, student-focused guidance and information.
