The SCC Student Support Fund is an emergency fund for students whose financial provision for their studies is impacted by unforeseen circumstances resulting in financial hardship.

The College is committed to the wellbeing of our students and the creation of this fund is to support students during challenging circumstances. It is a discretionary source of financial support to students undertaking full-time study at the Scotland College of Chiropractic.

Students need support now more than ever. A survey by the Office for National Statistics found that the cost of living crisis alone among university students in the UK had the following impact :

91% of students were worried about the rising cost of living, with half (49%) saying they were very worried.

More than three-quarters (77%) of students were concerned that the rising cost of living may affect how well they do in their studies.

Around 45% of students reported their mental health and well-being had worsened since the start of the autumn term (2022).
