The Richmond Office of Financial Assistance is available to help students access a variety of funding programs including Scholarship (academic merit based) awards, Grant awards and Student Loans to assist students with meeting their fees and living expenses. It is important to remember that in nearly all cases, scholarships and financial assistance will only cover a portion of the annual tuition fees. You will need to meet the rest and all other costs, yourself. Eligibility for the programs varies greatly based on the student's academic standing, nationality and level of financial need.
In 2009/2010 Richmond students will receive over one million pounds in financial assistance. Some of this is in the form of aid from governments and foundations. Richmond's own generous scholarship program provides the rest. For further details you may visit the Richmond web site or contact the Office of Financial Assistance at +(44) 208 332 8244, via fax +(44) 208 332 1596 or email: finaid@richmond.ac.uk

International Student Calculator
According to research by The UK Council For International Student Affairs (UKCISA), student finance is the number one concern for international students; Almost a quarter (23%) of them said they didn’t have enough money to live on. Of those who had experienced hardship, 72% said they underestimated the cost of living. Only 25% of students took out possessions insurance, which is concerning as students are often targeted. Also, many have unrealistic expectations of how much time they can spend working.
The International Student Calculator is enables students to;
* Build a lifestyle budget and see how it balances by week, month or over a year.
* Understand how they will spend their time as well as their money in the UK
* Get information on areas like insurance and banking as well as guidance on the costs of living
* Learn from case studies and top tips from other students
* Save their budget so they can use it before arriving or during their study.
The International Student Calculator is there to help you plan and manage your money for study in the UK.
The UNIAID Student Life Wiki is an interactive uni guide which allows students to view and edit articles about their town, University, living costs, and much more.
