In his last week as Students’ Union (SU) President, Frank Finley has introduced the COVID Student Relief Fund designed to support students who have been financially burdened by the pandemic. In a post made on Reddit, Finley explains that the COVID Student Relief Fund will be awarded to students based on financial need, and that anywhere between $300–$1,500 will be awarded from a pool of $150,000. Finley spoke with the Gauntlet about this bursary and the effect he hopes it will have on students. “The pandemic has had devastating effects on students when it comes to employment, when it comes to family supports and when it comes to being able to afford their education,” said Finley. “This fund is for anybody who feels they are struggling economically as a result of the pandemic and of the fallout.”
