Hardship Fund. We recognise that some students need additional financial support to help them get through a challenging time. We believe being able to respond appropriately to such needs is an essential element of our retention support. Therefore, as we reduce the Student Support Package we will also increase the hardship funds provided through the Access Agreement to £500k per year from 2017/18. This will operate alongside the funds set aside from HEFCE funding, and so this increase will protect against any decrease that we may see in the amount available from the SO funding in the coming years.
