The Student Support Fund
The Student Support Fund’s purpose is extremely simple; it is a resource
for any and all students who need it. Its impact is transformational,
whether it is a means of ensuring one less thing for a student to worry
about, or actually enabling a student to attend Christ’s in the first place.

Christ’s is one the most generous Colleges in
the University when it comes to supporting its
students, offering needs-based financial
assistance to every undergraduate and graduate.

The College also provides emergency funding to
those who through no fault of their own face a
change in circumstance during their studies,
leaving them unable to meet living costs or
other expenses.

Christ’s believes this funding is vital to its
reputation as a College that invests in the
potential of its students. Yet the College
anticipates much more funding will be needed if
it is to continue this commitment.

A Cambridge education is challenging enough
even without the added pressure of money
worries. But the reality is that many of our
students now graduate with debts of more than
£51,450, a huge investment for any student,
but particularly difficult for those from less
advantaged backgrounds.
