USW is introducing a scheme to help students for the Autumn 2024 term in response to the challenges that many are experiencing with financial difficulties affording a basic laptop for their studies.

The support available is a voucher for a refurbished laptop from our supplier.

The scheme is intended to support students who are who are based at a USW campus studying on an eligible full-time undergraduate or postgraduate course in September 2024 and who are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford to buy a laptop. The fund is limited and not all applicants will be successful.

In the event of oversubscription, priority will be given to students deemed to be most in need and who will receive the most benefit from the scheme. Students’ personal and financial circumstances will be used to assess applications in a fair manner. It should be noted that there is no right of appeal.

Applicants are reminded that they are solely responsible for ensuring that their application form has been submitted correctly and cannot make changes to applications or resubmit, so please check your answers before submitting.

The deadline to submit an application form is 4pm on Friday 29th November 2024.

Decisions are expected to be available within one month of the closing date and will be sent to students’ university email accounts.

Please see web information for further information on the scheme and how to apply.
