Enrichment Fund. To further support student success, particularly for those students who have caring and other financial commitments on top of their studies, a new fund focussed on providing additional support to students wishing to undertake career enhancing activity has will be introduced. £100,000 per annum will be available to support students looking to engage in various activities such as internships and travel overseas to participate in educational activity. Although some funding via programmes like Erasmus already exists, this often does not account for potential lost earnings or additional caring responsibilities which students at LSBU have to consider. Access to supplementary funding to assist with these additional costs will enable LSBU’s most financially restricted students an opportunity to broaden the activity they undertake alongside their studies. This will improve attainment during study as well as improve graduate outcomes.
