Finance and funding

  • Advice on identifying and obtaining financial assistance, whether for ongoing study (e.g. funding a PhD course), fieldwork expenses or presenting work at international academic conferences.

    Wolfson graduates have access to a College travel fund, which provides grants for those giving papers at conferences. We also have a dedicated Student Finance Officer, Ms Sue Sang (scs35 @cam.ac.uk), who is able to provide advice on financial matters.

  • Help in cases of unforeseen and unexpected financial difficulties (as distinct from failure to access funds which were guaranteed as part of the admissions procedure). Such help may be in the form of adjusted payment schedules or a loan or, in cases of serious hardship, a grant.

    Wolfson students can apply for grants from the College hardship fund, and our tutors can also apply on their students’ behalf to a wide variety of University-based funds and charities.
