International Student Financial Support

The University of Kent funds two schemes to provide financial assistance to full-time non-UK University of Kent Students.

International Financial Support fund (IFS)

The International Financial Support fund (IFS) can provide discretionary financial assistance to all full time non-UK students registered at the University of Kent and eligible to pay tuition fees at the ‘EU’ rate, and all non-UK University of Kent students (including overseas rate fee-payers) studying abroad as part of their degree programme.

International Hardship Fund


The University of Kent has a small hardship fund to provide emergency support for students assessed as paying fees at the Overseas rate who are already registered on degree programs at the University and who experience unexpected financial hardship during their study.
