The amount is deducted monthly by staff authorisation and submitted to the Bursary.&nbsp; However, we are now also inviting external contributions on a monthly or one-off basis to expand the number of students we can assist.&nbsp;<br \/>The Fund addresses needs ranging from transportation, meals and personal upkeep for students who would otherwise find it difficult to attend school or meet the social costs of attending school.&nbsp; The need may arise from indigence, loss of income or generally from persons who simply are unable to afford the expenses of attending school.&nbsp; At times the Fund provides relief to persons who are impacted by natural disasters, particularly hurricane events or more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp; The profiles of beneficiaries vary, they may come from two or single family households, or they may be married or unmarried adult students.&nbsp; The stipend is offered on a monthly basis and may be a one-time grant of $200; or a monthly stipend of $200.00 for the entire semester.&nbsp; This means the allocation to one student can be at least $1000.00 per semester.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Student Hardship<\/strong><br \/>The\u202fStudent Hardship Fund&nbsp;is<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tintended to assist students who encounter unforeseen financial<br \/>\n\t\t\t\temergencies which would prevent them from continuing their education at<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tthe Cave Hill Campus.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A full or partial scholarship or bursary<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tFull tuition&nbsp;scholarships cover the&nbsp;full cost of tuition&nbsp;and can<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tvary depending on the programme of study and the student\u2019s country of<br \/>\n\t\t\t\torigin.&nbsp;The&nbsp;minimum&nbsp;amount for a partial scholarship is&nbsp;half the tuition<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tfee.&nbsp;A scholarship can also include an additional amount outside of the<br \/>\n\t\t\t\ttuition fee to assist in covering the cost of books, equipment and<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tliving expenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cavehill.uwi.edu\/business-development\/give-now\/scholarships,-grants-bursaries-en.aspx\">Click here<\/a> to learn about how to establish a scholarship.&nbsp;<br \/><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t<br clear=\"all\">\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Immediate Needs Campus Scholarship Appeal The Campus Scholarship appeal is ongoing to fund undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships for our most outstanding students, who are in need.
