Warwick Hardship Fund

Post-Triage Information

The Warwick Hardship Fund (WHF) is a fund of last resort and is intended to provide discretionary, non-repayable financial help to those in an unexpected short-term emergency that causes difficulty in meeting essential living costs and some course-related costs. Please note this fund is for Home students, if you are an International or EU student please see the International Student Emergency Fund page.

How do I apply?

Your invitation to apply to the WHF is only valid for 4 weeks from the day you receive this via email. Any submissions made after this 4-week deadline will be rejected as you must attend another triage meeting. If you are a final year student, then your date of submission must not be within 5 weeks of your course end date.

Applications to the WHF are made via an online form. You will need to be logged into your University account whilst completing the form to be able to submit. You will be able to save the application and return to it at a later date if required.
