Discretionary Fund – Winter Covid Top Up Fund

Discretionary Fund – Winter Covid Top Up Fund

The Scottish Government has allocated funds to assist students who are facing financial difficulties during the current Covid-19 lockdown.

The fund will support students who are struggling to pay for accommodation costs and who are unable to secure rent rebates while not returning to their term-time accommodation, as well as those experiencing severe hardship as a result of Covid-19.

Please note that the Scottish Government has allocated this money to universities to disperse. It’s worth all students just having a look at this link to see if you are eligible, as the criteria are detailed here:  https://www.ed.ac.uk/student-funding/hardship-funding/winter-covid-fund

We wouldn’t want anyone who is eligible to miss out on applying!
