Financial aid

Student Support Fund

An online application window opens once each academic year, run by the Office of the Dean of Students. Applications are assessed on need, and support covers fees and, separately, meals. This is separate from the University’s Endowment Fund, which invests permanent capital rather than making annual awards.
