What Is The Financial Support Fund?

The University of Bath Financial Support Fund provides limited financial support for students who are experiencing financial difficulties, or a change in financial circumstances due to unforeseen events and are unable to meet basic or unexpected additional costs from other sources of support.

The Fund is intended to act as a safety net for those in financial difficulty rather than a main source of income.

The Financial Support Fund can assist with following costs:

• Food
• Rent
• Utility bills
• Travel to University
• Course related costs such as books & equipment (but not tuition fees).

Everyone at the University of Bath has the right to feel safe, which is why we take reports of bullying, harassment, hate incidents and sexual misconduct seriously.

We have specialist staff to support and advise you on options for what happens next and how to access professional support.

Inappropriate behaviour can include bullying, discrimination, domestic abuse, harassment, hate crimes and incidents, and microaggressions. However, anything that makes you feel uncomfortable can be reported, even if it doesn’t fall into these specific categories.

There are three ways to report an incident

• With contact details: we can respond and discuss your case with you, enabling you to decide how to proceed.
• Through a person you trust: enabling you to remain anonymous while advice and guidance is given through the person you trust.
• Anonymously: You cannot be identified. We use anonymous reports to better understand the issues impacting our University community, to monitor patterns, and to shape our prevention of, and response to, unwanted behaviour.
