£15m in government cash for students struggling to pay rent

International and postgraduate students will be eligible for this funding along with domestic undergraduates.

 

The announced from the DofE comes as the government tells all university students who have not yet returned to campus and in-person teaching, will be able to do so from May 17.

 

The timing aligns with Step 3 of the government’s roadmap, where restrictions on social contact and indoor mixing will be further eased, and aims to limit potential public health risks associated with student populations moving across the country.

Progression to Step 3 of the roadmap will be dependent on a review of the latest data and the impact of Step 2 on the government’s four key tests.

Creative and practical students started returning from the 8 March, with an estimated 49 per cent of students already eligible to return to in-person teaching, subject to decisions by their institutions, and remaining students have received online provision throughout the term.

 

Students will also have access to home testing kits throughout the summer term through both the government’s offer of free rapid lateral flow tests tests twice weekly to everyone in England, and ‘University Collect’ services, under which universities will distribute tests from communal locations on campus, such as libraries. This is in addition to the onsite testing already offered.

All tests will be free, and all students and staff who test positive from an LFD test will need to self-isolate for 10 days, unless they receive a negative PCR test within two days.

We're excited to announce that we're working on building a shiny new website for readers of Landlord Today! As part of this process, commenting on articles will be temporarily disabled. We look forward to sharing our new and improved Landlord Today website with you shortly!
