University Financial Aid

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.

Essential information for applicants

Financial aid

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.
