Services from two teams within Student Support Services have recently merged to form a new team called Student Funding and Access Support.

SFAS PLASMA4

Student Funding and Access Support is now your first point of contact for enquiries relating to

  • problems with your SFE or NHS funding, or other funding issues
  • financial hardship, including emergency food vouchers and The Student Support Fund
  • scholarship and bursary issues

They also offer practical, financial and welfare advice to

  • care leavers (someone who was looked after by the local authority in childhood)
  • estranged students (someone who has lost contact with family and is studying without their support)
  • mature students (aged 21 or over when starting an undergraduate course, or 25 or over at postgraduate level)
  • students carers (looking after a family member or friend due to disability, illness, mental health or addiction problem)

If this sounds like your circumstances then visit the Student Services Centres to find out more about the full range of drop in advice sessions, one to one appointments, activities and events offered by Student Funding and Access Support.
