Each year we assist students with financial awards and scholarships to enable them to get the best out of their plans, from transformative experiences to postgraduate study after they graduate. Funding is all about helping our students to overcome financial barriers to engage in university life, and is expressly for those experiencing financial difficulties. To be eligible, students(s) need to be up-to-date with the payment of the college fee, unless there are any previously declared extenuating circumstances.

Furness offers short term College Loans of up to £100 for those Furnessians who find themselves in need. These can be made available on the same day as they are agreed but must be repaid within six weeks. If you do find yourself in a situation whereby you require a loan, please contact the College Manager Jo in the first instance to discuss it.

College Community Cupboard and Where's the Food (WTF) events

Urgent or short term support for accessing free groceries and hygiene essentials are available through Furness via our Community Cupboard. This contains long-life food items, toiletries and persona hygiene items. The cupboard is located in the College Office, room A13 Furness.
The Colleges will be running various free food events throughout the academic year. The Where's the Food events will be advertised on the college news and events pages and are open to all students regardless of college. Food will be served on a first come, first served basis.

The Students' Union has the LUSU Pantry which is available to students Monday-Friday from 10am until 4pm and can be accessed via the Welcome Desk in Bowland Main. The Students' Union will be running a supper club every Thursday evening from 6pm, where they will be giving away free hot meals to students. This is run on a first come, first served basis.
