City St George's, University of London - Student Support Fund at City St George's, University of London

Student Support Fund at City St George's, University of London

You get a one-off grant that you never repay if you run short of money during your studies. The fund helps with real costs like travel, rent, course materials, childcare and general living expenses. There is no fixed sum. The amount is worked out from your situation. The university is changing the top grant amounts from September 2026 and has not yet published the new maximum, so treat the figure in the facts box as a guide, not a confirmed cap. The fund is run by City St George's, University of London, and covers all its campuses under one scheme. It does not cover tuition fees or visa fees.

How to apply

How realistic are your chances?

This is emergency help, not a competitive prize. What matters is proving a real funding gap after you have used every other option. If you clearly meet those conditions and can document your situation, your prospects are good. Grants depend on the fund's budget, so apply as soon as it opens and give complete evidence.
