Students can now apply for more financial help to cope with cost of living crisis

The Scottish Government has announced students facing financial hardship due to the cost of living crisis and the upcoming energy price hike in April can now apply for more support.

This week, more than £5 million has been distributed to help Higher Education students in financial hardship with basics like heating and other household costs, part of a £37 million hardship funding provided by the Scottish Government since June 2021.

The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) will meet colleges’ Further Education student support funding requirements, and have also provided a further £6 million for financial support for FE students, in this academic year.
