University of Manchester will pay students £170 each to help during cost of living crisis
The University of Manchester has announced special cost of living payments will be given to students this winter in a scheme worth around £7m.
In a statement, the university said: "In recognition of the significant challenges faced by students over rising costs, the University of Manchester is dedicating £9m to providing further student support, building on an initial programme of wellbeing and financial assistance provided together with the Students' Union.
Bosses said the announcement builds on existing financial support available, including increases to the university's Cost of Living Support Fund, and providing grants of up to £2,000 to students who are struggling, with an extra £2,000 for postgraduate research students who receive University of Manchester-funded stipends.
Sam Bronheim, Union Affairs Officer at the Students' Union, said: "We have valued collaborating with the University on this project and are glad they have listened to our ideas. With action like this, we hope students feel that, through the Students' Union, their needs have not only been heard but met by the University."
