There are sometimes problems in the distribution of student loan cheques at the beginning of semester 1 from the Student Loans Company. If students find themselves with no money to live on, Student Welfare services may be able to help out.
Loans are available to help students until such time as the loan cheque arrives.
The money is intended to help with living expenses in the short term. The duration and level of the loan will depend on each student's circumstances. The maximum amount of loan will be 500. All funds must be repaid on receipt of the first loan instalment.
