Hardship Grant

EIT has established a new hardship grant to support students who are suffering hardship due to the impact of COVID-19.

Current EIT students are able to apply for this financial assistance.

To see whether you are eligible for this funding you will find the criteria here

Successful applicants will receive funds credited directly to their bank accounts. There is no requirement for any part of these funds to be repaid.

Students are able to loan a laptop from EIT if they need to study from home.  The form for this is here. Students will go on to a waiting list and will be contacted when a laptop is available. 

Laptops are to be returned in good condition at the end of the academic year or at the end of their course, whichever date is earliest.
