How it works

If you are eligible for the travel fund, you will need to pay the full cost of your travels to the Falmouth University event, and then the Travel Fund will reimburse you up to the thresholds outlined below.

If you're experiencing exceptional hardship and are unable to pay these costs up front, please contact the team to explore your options.

All awards are made on a discretionary basis and are subject to funding. Each case will be assessed individually.
