The UK government will provide an additional £15 million in hardship funding for students, it announced today.
The money will be distributed to universities to give to students who are struggling to cope with rising costs.
The government said this will build on the £261 million student premium fund allocated this year – money aimed at supporting disadvantaged students.
“This extra funding will complement the help universities are providing through their own bursary, scholarship and hardship support schemes,” said Robert Halfon, minister for skills, apprenticeships and higher education, in a statement.
