Common use of Financial Support for Students Clause in Contracts

Financial Support for Students. 4.4.1 We acknowledge that unexpected expenditure can be a major impediment to study; and that courses in the creative arts can impose particular demands because of the cost of materials. 4.4.2 Historically, in common with most providers of undergraduate courses within the creative disciplines, the University charged a “course materials fee” to contribute towards the cost of materials provided by the University free of charge. This fee was suspended from 2006/07, and we shall continue to meet this cost from the income derived from tuition fees. (It remains the case that some courses require students to provide key equipment, which will usually be offered at a subsidised rate.) This expenditure is not, however, deemed “countable” and hence has not been included. 4.4.3 Students who are under local authority care when they enrol at the University are automatically eligible to receive a bursary of £2,000 for each academic year of their undergraduate course. We offer this bursary to students up to the age of 25 on entry to higher education who have been in care for 3 or more months up to and including the period of GCSE/A level or equivalent study (evidence will normally be required). This bursary is in the form of a grant, is not means tested and will not affect student entitlement to any other financial support. This award is in addition to the other bursaries and benefits to which a student may be entitled. The bursary will be paid in February of each year. The University reserves the right to claim back a proportion of this grant if the student fails to complete the year, but will consider each case on its merits. The bursary for care-leavers is subject to annual review, and may not be increased in line with inflation. 4.4.4 The University acknowledges the cost of undergraduate study in art, design, media and performance, and those students from lowest income households will benefit from direct financial support for their major project at Level 6. Our evidence from the last four years shows that non-traditional students regularly seek grants from our Hardship Fund to support their work on their final year project work. In consequence, students who enrol in 2014/15 and progress successfully to Level 6 study in 2016/17, and who are in receipt of a full maintenance grant, will receive a progression scholarship of £200 on enrolment for Xxxxx 0 study. This scholarship is in the form of a grant and will not affect student entitlement to any other financial support. The bursary will be paid in December of each year. The University reserves the right to claim back a proportion of this grant if the student fails to complete the year, but will consider each case on its merits. This award is subject to annual review, and may not be increased in line with inflation. 4.4.5 We shall also establish a discretionary support fund. Students from under- represented groups who are on full state support are permitted to make applications to this fund for specific purposes, which will be reviewed on an annual basis and published through our intranet. For 2014, support will be available in the form of bicycle vouchers, which have been very successful and facilitate student travel to the campus; support for educational visits; and exceptionally, hardship loans. This fund will comprise the funding not otherwise allocated through this Access Agreement, and will contain no less than £100,000 to support unexpected or exceptional hardship.
