The University has significantly increased our hardship funds this year for students who are in financial need.

It applies to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and we have a total fund this year of £1.5 million, up from £1 million last year.

The funding is available for students to access on a termly basis, full details
of which are available on the University website, at studentsupport.cam.ac.uk

You will need to talk to your tutor or supervisor and they will need to support your application. We think it's very important that you consult with them because they may be able to provide access to additional sources of funding through either your college or academic department, which will be in addition to the money that you receive through the hardship fund.

We also have a special fund available for students who are finishing up their doctoral studies to recognise that they've been disrupted through Covid-19. Students in their third year or fourth year of study on a research doctorate who are self-funding can access that resource in addition to the hardship funds.

Sometimes we recognise that students may not necessarily know how much they
need over the course of a full year so we're also providing an opportunity this year for students to re-apply. A first application, you can receive up to £2,000. If you make a second application in the subsequent term, that will be for a maximum of £1,500 worth of assistance.
