If you’re under 25 years old and a Care Leaver, Young Adult Carer or assessed as Estranged from your family by Student Finance England, you can apply for the Humber Grant. This is an additional support package worth £1,000, made up of cash and vouchers.
The grant is paid in addition to other financial support you receive and doesn’t need to be paid back. The Humber Grant is paid in two instalments, usually in December and March.
New students in 2023/24 will also receive a £200 voucher to spend at UniKitOut on essentials such as bedding and kitchen equipment to get you started. We also include a £100 supermarket e-voucher in our Humber Grant package to help purchase food and essentials.
Young Adult Carers
Young Adult Carers are individuals who provide unpaid support or care for a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their age, physical or mental illness, or disability.
Care Leaver/Experience of Care
Care Leavers are underrepresented in higher education and we're committed to offering support for these applicants to study and succeed at the University of Hull.
365-day-a-year accommodation is available if you want it, and Student Support Services can help you secure the student accommodation of your choice.
