The Fund has helped students by providing individual scholarships to those who have shown they require financial assistance. A student is deemed eligible if: they can show that their current income and family support does not cover their expenses. The expense profile of each student is analysed on a case by case basis and where there is a shortfall between income and expenditure, the Fund may be able to assist.
