Emergency Student Support Fund reopens

Posted on Thursday 12 November 2020

The Emergency Student Support Fund (ESSF) aims to provide short-term financial support for the unanticipated needs of York students caused or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students can apply for a maximum of £500 of non-repayable funding.

All current students who are fully-registered at the University of York on a degree-awarding programme (UG, PGT or PGR, full- or part-time) are eligible to apply for ESSF funding.

The funding can be used for: 

• food/living costs
• health-related costs
• accommodation
• travel expenses
• study-related costs
• IT equipment costs

The new ESSF round will close on Tuesday 24 November, with a mid-point review on Tuesday 17 November so that early successful applications can receive payment as quickly as possible.
