University Cost of Living Support
Hello,
I hope you're well.
This is an FOI request to be used as part of a Sky News investigation.
We'd appreciate a response as soon as possible in order to include it as part of our TV & online story - many thanks .
1) Is your institution offering support to students to help with the rise in cost of living?
2) If yes, what is the specific support you're providing university students?
3) How many university students have you supported with the cost of living crisis in the last 6 months?
4) Roughly, what is the expenditure to the university for providing support to university students in the last 6 months?
I really look forward to hearing from you!
Kind regards,
Inzamam Rashid
