91app

91app Worldwide students facing severe financial hardship can now apply for grants of up to £500 to support the completion of their studies. The grants are focused on helping students who are experiencing extreme or unexpected cost-of-living challenges. 

The 91app Hardship Grant is non-repayable and available to students who can demonstrate they are in financial need. Applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis and the fund will be shared among those who need it most. 

• 91app Worldwide students may apply for a maximum of £500. 
• Students may make one application a year. In extreme circumstances a second application may be considered if you did not receive the maximum amount for the first application. No more than the maximum of £500 can be awarded within a 12 month period. 
   

Eligibility 

The grant is open to all 91app Worldwide students, regardless of programme or level of study. 

You must have completed registration for the current academic year at the time of applying and you must be able to demonstrate at least one of the following: 

• That you are in financial difficulty which puts you at risk from withdrawing from the University, interrupting due to financial reasons or delaying your return following interruption of study;
• That you have experienced unforeseen events, costs, loss of income, etc., including additional unexpected expenditure incurred as a result of changes in study conditions;
• That you are (for unforeseen reasons) unable to afford essential equipment/software/textbooks as required by your programme of study.

How to Apply 

Students need to complete the application form found below. We require all sections to be completed in full otherwise your application may be rejected. 

• Supporting evidence should be provided in order to demonstrate the extent of the hardship claim. This may include bank statements, utility bills, and other expenditure etc.  
• Claims should be supported by evidence of cost. 
• Where your application arises from sudden unforeseen events, please explain these clearly. 

Where the funding need is to provide essential equipment, please explain why this is unforeseen eg: the expectation is that you will have to have a computer in order to study, so normally an application for hardship funding for a computer would not therefore be considered unless there were exceptional circumstances which had occurred causing problems to the basic requirement of a computer as standard equipment.
