Access to Learning Fund (full-time and part-time students)
The Higher Education Access to Learning Fund (HE-ALF) helps students to finish their education when they would otherwise be prevented from doing so because of financial difficulties. You’ll need to have applied for the full amount of any statutory support (such as student loans and grants) before your application can be assessed.
The application form and guidance notes will be available from the end of June 2013.
