The sub-committee may make an immediate award or may decide that a student s circumstances are complex and need to be heard by the main committee. The main committee meets monthly during term time and is chaired by a Pro-Vice Chancellor. Papers relating to applications are stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act. You will be advised about the outcome of your application within 5 working days of the committee meeting. Awards are usually available for collection from the Cashiers Office within seven working days of the committee meeting.
Students can apply more than once.
If you have already received help from the Fund but find that you are in difficulties again, simply complete a further application form. We do however, attempt to construct a package of assistance to suit an individual s circumstances at the first application, thus reducing the necessity for further applications. If you feel that your award is insufficient for your needs or you are unhappy about the way your application was dealt with, you should make an appointment to see one of the Welfare Officers to discuss your case further.
