COVID-19 Assistance Fund

The COVID-19 Assistance Fund can provide support to students who are experiencing financial hardship as a result of the pandemic. The fund is open to all University of Sunderland students (Home, EU and International) who normally study in the UK, and can offer a non-repayable grant to provide some support through this unprecedented time when many students’ incomes may have been affected.

Please read the information on the COVID-19 Assistance Fund webpage carefully, as it gives you important information and guidance about this new fund, who is eligible, and how to apply.

The guidance offered is based on the best information available at the time. Such information is subject to change, often with very little notice. Whilst care has been taken to ensure that all information is correct, the Student Financial Guidance Team does not accept responsibility for errors, omissions or inaccuracies. Please be aware it is a prospective student’s sole responsibility to ensure that they are eligible for and appropriate applications have been submitted to obtain any required grant, loan or funding before they take any steps to enrol on a course or programme.
