The primary purpose of University Financial Aid is to relieve financial difficulties which might impact on a student's participation in higher education at Oxford Brookes and to help them remain at the University.
University Financial Aid
You can only apply for Financial Aid if you are a fully enrolled student and have applied to all the funding available to you (Student Finance, NHS Learning Support Fund, etc).
If you need advice on student finance, please contact our Student Money Adviser at studentmoneyadvice@brookes.ac.uk.
Global Banking School (GBS) students are not eligible to apply for Financial Aid at Oxford Brookes. Please email welfare@globalbanking.ac.uk for advice and support.
Alert
If you are currently experiencing a significant financial emergency (e.g. being made homeless, no food, etc), please contact finaid@brookes.ac.uk as soon as possible.
Complete the following steps and don't forget to submit your supporting evidence.
- Step 1: Read the Financial Aid Guidance Notes.
- Step 2: Complete the Financial Aid Application Form.
- Step 3: Look out for an email from Financial Aid. We will email you within a few days, requesting your supporting evidence.
- Step 4: Reply to the email, submitting all the supporting evidence we ask for.
Students should be aware that Financial Aid is intended to act as a safety net for those in financial difficulty rather than their main source of income.
The National Association of Student Money Advisers (NASMA) provide universities across the UK with hardship funding guidelines. Oxford Brookes uses this as guidance to help ensure an equitable assessment process.
If you would like to speak to us face-to-face, please come to our Zoom room. It is open on Wednesdays from 1pm to 2pm, and when you enter you will then be assigned to one of our advisers when they become available.
