Story
Many of our most vulnerable students are struggling to cope, which is why we have launched this appeal to support students most in need through our Hardship Fund. The (Covid-19) Hardship Fund has been created to provide support for unforeseen costs, primarily subsistence and living costs; rent and accommodation for those who cannot travel home; support for those losing part time employment; and those with no access to IT equipment to enable remote learning.
Donating to the Northumbria University Covid-19 Hardship Fund will provide our students with security and enable them to continue to learn and invest in their futures.
