    Swarthmore Hardship Fund

    Swarthmore Hardship fund is available to anyone who finds it difficult to self-finance a course at Swarthmore. Our aim is to provide education for all, regardless of financial status, and that education should be accessible for everyone in our community.

    Funds are raised by our students, supporters and through fundraising activities, and we thank all who contribute so generously.

    If you are experiencing financial hardship and would like to enrol on one of our courses, please complete our Hardship Application form.

    Examples of financial hardship may be: being a single parent, being from a low income family, having a disability, being a care leaver, having unexpected financial burdens etc. Each application will be considered (on its own merit), and we will respond to you as quickly as we can. Proof of hardship may be required.

    If you would like to donate to our hardship fund and support those in the Leeds Community to access education at the centre, please do so via our donate page – all donations are gratefully received and will be used solely for the purpose of supporting our students
