Any support is discretionary and will depend on what other funds you have access to. If it is agreed to provide support, this will be in the form of supermarket vouchers, and will be based on what we consider to be an appropriate amount to assist with food costs. We will take into consideration when any payment from Student Finance/NHS is likely to be received.

Any support awarded be provided in the form of digital Tesco or Sainsbury's food vouchers.

Delay in Funding support is not available to cover rent.
