Crisis Loans for Students in financial difficulties.

Angel_Rachie

Hello,

I recently found out that if your a student and have run out of money completely, as in ALL your over-draft gone! And a genuie emergency. You may be able to get a crisis loan from the social fund to cover essentials such as food, gas, electric and toiletries.

Its a tax free loan altho YOU DO HAVE TO PAY IT BACK!

A form can be downloaded from the following link.

I hope people find this helpful.
