The Loan Fund I is available to provide interest-free loans to undergraduate and postgraduate students who find themselves in unexpected financial need.
It is expected that students will have explored all other avenues before making an application for an advance from the Loan Fund I. This means the student should have already applied for remission of fees (for more information click here) and financial assistance from their College and/or Department.
Prior to making an application for an advance from the Loan Fund I, the student should have applied to all appropriate sources of funds including Student Loan Company and College Financial Assistance Funds.
An application for an advance should be made via the College using the Loan Fund I Application Form.
If an advance is granted, at the time the loan is made the student will be expected to agree a reasonable schedule of repayments following the completion of their course of study and to sign a Banker's Order form so that repayments can commence on the agreed date.
