The University, in partnership with its alumni community, has created the Success for All Fund to help you if you are experiencing unexpected financial challenges affecting your ability to study.

You may be facing financial hardship, be struggling to pay for IT or a learning disability assessment, or have bills to pay while waiting for your first loan payment to arrive.

All registered undergraduate and postgraduate University of Exeter students in financial difficulty are eligible to apply, irrespective of fee-status. Priority will be given to students undertaking their first degree who are from low-income households or without family support. The majority of funds are means-tested and you will be asked to provide evidence in support of your application. Please note, funding will not be given to pay your tuition fees.

What help is available?

The fund aims to provide financial help to meet particular costs which are not already being met from statutory (or other) sources of funding such as:

  • Meeting special course and living costs, other than tuition fee costs, which are not already met from other sources
  • Providing emergency payments for unexpected one-off costs e.g. flight home, repairs and essential maintenance
  • Providing extra support if you are considering leaving higher education because of financial problems
  • Providing access to essential IT to enable you to meet the requirements of your course
  • Contributing to the cost of diagnostic assessments or specialist equipment
  • Additional support for Care Leavers with accommodation and other costs including bridging support after graduating
  • Enabling you to participate in graduation
  • Alleviating hardship during the summer vacation
