Description
As part of the hardship support offered by Brunel, eligible students can receive non-repayable loans of up to £500. The student must demonstrate that they are in genuine and unexpected hardship and in immediate financial need, allowing them to continue with their studies. Decisions are made within five days and extra support is offered through the Student Centre.
