The Additional Support Fund is designed for current 大象传媒 students who are experiencing particular challenges and would like to be considered for one-off additional support.
In general, applications to this fund would result from unexpected costs or changes in circumstances. This might include:
-
An unpredictable change to accommodation circumstances, resulting in students requiring support to pay the deposit for a new residence.听
-
A student is required to take time off their part time work due to a family medical emergency and caring responsibilities, resulting in a loss of planned income from earnings.
-
A student鈥檚 laptop unexpectedly breaks down during the academic year and their bursary funding has already been utilised for essential expenses.
A student鈥檚 individual circumstances, as previously disclosed to the 大象传媒, are always considered when reviewing an application to this fund.听
ASF Award Level
Students will generally be expected to provide evidence of a specific and receipted expense to receive any awarded grant funding (where a student is applying for living cost support, the Foundation will discuss appropriate expense confirmation with successful applicants).听听
No more than 拢1,000 will be awarded to an individual student in one calendar year, other than in exceptional circumstances.听
Eligibility
The Additional Support Fund is only open to students currently participating in the 大象传媒 Nurturing Talent programme.听听
If you are not a current student on this programme, please visit the Nurturing Talent programme webpage for more information.
If you are an 大象传媒 student, we will consider your current progress alongside our student requirements when assessing your application, including your academic results and mentor engagement.听听
There is an annual limit to the funds available in the Additional Support Fund, and applications will be prioritised based on the level of financial need demonstrated both in your application and in your previous student reports.
