AED Hardship
The AED Hardship fund provides short-term, immediate support to Arts and Education students experiencing unexpected financial pressure.
We understand that the unexpected can happen at any time, and this can impact the wellbeing of our students and their ability to focus on their studies. We strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students to ask for and receive the support they need.
This fund is for our students experiencing unexpected financial pressure. It provides short-term, immediate access to essentials to help temporarily lower the number of stressors and support overall wellbeing.
