Society Hardship Fund

‍

The Students’ Guild and the Athletic Union, supported by the generous assistance of Exeter alumni, is pleased to announce the launch of the Society and Club Hardship Fund.

It is a fund of £50 that can be spent on memberships to societies, sports clubs, stash and society/club events and activities.

The fund is eligible to any student who has been awarded one of the following University of Exeter bursaries:

• Access to Exeter Bursary
• Care Leavers'
• Estranged Students Bursary
• PGCE Exeter Bursary

‍

You are also eligible if you come from a widening participation background or are unable to join/take part in Guild societies and AU clubs due to a financial barrier.

‍

How do I apply?

Applying for the funding is simple. All you need to do is fill in this form.

You will be required to submit either evidence of receiving any of the listed University of Exeter bursaries, evidence of referral from the Guild Advice Service or completion of a testimonial outlining why you need access to the fund.

If your hardship application is approved and you are planning on using it for things such as events, stash or memberships that you have already purchased, you will need to complete a reimbursement form and email this into activities@exeterguild.com‍

‍

What's the catch?

Put simply, nothing! All we ask in return for the financial assistance is that successful applicants write a few brief sentences in June outlining how the funds made a difference to their Exeter experience. Please email these to activities@exeterguild.com
