If you find yourself in financial difficulties or experience an unexpected change in circumstances, you may be eligible to apply for financial help through the DoC Hardship Fund.

The DoC Hardship fund is funded partly by the Corporate Partnership Programme (money generously provided by the companies here.)

Funds available depend on the situation and can range from £1,000 - £3,000. 

An email is sent out in Term one by the Industrial Liaison Team with instructions on how to apply, along with the forms needed to be completed.  Students can also apply on an adhoc basis.  Applications are welcomed from both UG and PGT students.

Students can also apply directly to Imperial College for financial support, this has different eligibility requirements and award value. Please follow the section Student support fund here.  

Please be assured that the information will be confidential (the people who will see the forms are the hardship committee and your personal tutor who needs to sign the form).

If you have any further queries please contact the DoC Industrial Liaison Team at docilt@ic.ac.uk.
