If you are having difficulties meeting your living costs (food, rent, essential travel, learning resources) or have suffered a loss of resources (through theft for example), you may wish to apply to the University’s Cost of Living Support Fund, for financial support.

If you are ineligible to apply to the University Living Cost Support Fund or have already applied but are still struggling financially, then you can also apply to the MBChB Programme Hardship Fund.

The fund is open throughout the year and awards are made in the form of non-repayable grants. The fund is administered by the Student Pastoral Support (SPS) Team.

If you would like to discuss general financial advice, further information about the MBChB Programme Hardship Fund (including how to apply), or to make an appointment to meet with the Student Pastoral Support (SPS) Team to talk about how your circumstances are affecting you, you can contact the Team directly (med.sps@manchester.ac.uk).
