Our university is offering support to new full-time undergraduate students, who are having difficulty in paying an advanced rent payment for their university accommodation.
The scheme will consider assisting with advanced rent of up to £200 and will be paid through our Hardship Fund. This is only available for new students who are moving into Leeds Beckett University-owned accommodation.
Students must have accepted a place at Leeds Beckett University and have applied for their full statutory support before they can apply for this scheme.
The scheme is open to students from:
- low-income backgrounds (below £25,000 p.a. for a couple)
- students who are in receipt of means-tested welfare benefits
- students who are dependant upon parents who are in receipt of means-tested welfare benefits
- students who are classed as independent or are estranged from their parents and on a low income
You can apply for your advanced rent to be covered by the Advanced Rent Payment Scheme on the accommodation booking system once you have made a booking.
