Student Finance
75% of students do not believe their loan covers the cost of living comfortably
Student finance is a key source of support, but many students report that loans and grants do not cover the cost of living. Rising expenses for essentials like housing, food, and travel mean finances often fall short, leaving students reliant on paid work, family support, or debt.
NUS research shows that gaps in financial support significantly affect students’ wellbeing and ability to focus on their studies.
