Student Welfare Money Matters

Many people experience difficulties with their financial situation. However, proactively managing your finances will give you more awareness of your own situation and help you to manage your spending within your means.

There are a number of steps you can take to manage your money more effectively.

Use the Budget Planner: you need to know what your overall situation is.

Manage your spending- is there any where you can make savings?

Maximise your income- Make sure you are receiving all the funding you are entitled to.

Check ‘Other Potential Sources of Funding'. There are some suggested charities and awards that have various eligibility criteria. The EGAS search engine is a good place to start.

If you would like further information or advice about managing your budget, you can make an appointment with a Student Welfare Officer.
