This offers non-repayable financial assistance to students experiencing financial difficulties, covering essential living costs. These are available to both home and international students. Learn about the Hallam Hardship fund.

Emergency vouchers

Emergency vouchers provide temporary assistance if you have an immediate financial crisis. You can request a voucher if you are unable to buy food, toiletries or other essential items and have no other alternatives. Request a voucher.

International emergency fund

The International Emergency Fund is available to support international students who encounter significant short-term financial difficulties caused by unexpected changes in their circumstances or severe personal issues.

Exceptional support fund

The Exceptional Support Fund (ESF) is part of the NHS Learning Support Fund and is available to students studying certain health courses. It is for students experiencing unforeseen financial hardship, who have exhausted all other means of funding.

This fund is administered and funded by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), not Sheffield Hallam University.
