St George's are committed to supporting those students who experience financial difficulties during their studies and those who wish to access additional opportunities. We provide hardship funds to help support UK, EU and International students who are in need. We also provide funds to support students who have the opportunity to present at external conferences during their studies, and to those taking part in sport at a high level.

Alastair Hunter Sports Fund

St George’s students have a strong tradition of combining their studies with sport.

The costs of competing, combined with the high cost of living in London, can act as a barrier to some students taking part.

Each year, students are invited to apply for a prize from the alumni-funded Alastair Hunter Sports Fund.

The Fund exists to help students participating in a sport at a high level, or with the potential to do so, to continue fulfilling their sporting ambitions.

Applications for prizes have closed for 2022-23, but please look out for further information on these pages when applications for 2023-24 open during the Autumn term. 

Students with enquiries can also contact alumni@sgul.ac.uk
