Support for current students
Financial support is available to support students at the University of Edinburgh.
There can be times when you are finding it difficult to manage with your finances. Please do not worry about this on your own. We are here to help.
We have a selection of services that can support you if you are experiencing financial difficulties
Cost of living support
We know that your financial challenges are greater than ever this year. Rising costs of bills, food and transport are affecting us all.
We have launched our cost of living information webpages for advice, support and information about what the University and the Students' Association is doing to help you save money.
Debt
Are you concerned about debt or debts? The Financial Support team provides free and confidential one-to-one guidance. The EUSA Advice Place can offer impartial advice.
Hardship fund
This fund is for all students who are struggling with their finances and need help. The University can provide you a grant of money to help you get back on your feet and help pay for your living costs.
The University and Scottish Government provide a number of means-tested funds to support students.
Means-tested refers to considering the access to income and savings you have to determine the amount of financial support you are eligible for.
There is a form you need to complete and with information to evidence your need. We know this can be a worrying time so get in contact us if you have any concerns about the application.
This will all be in confidence.
