The HallamFund provides additional and much needed support to our student community sothey can overcome barriers and access the best opportunities. Coming to and studying at university can be achallenging and life-changing experience for any student. But if you are astudent from a care background, you are estranged from your family or a careryourself then additional pressures can mount. Estranged students may not be able to call on the practical, emotionaland financial support from family that other students have available to them. They are three times more likely to leave university before the end oftheir degree programme than the average student. Finance, or lack of finance,is a key factor in making this decision.

You can give students thesecurity and recognition to make the most of what university can offer,regardless of their personal circumstances. Pleasedonate today to make a huge difference to someone's life.
