Professional Classes Aid Council

The Professional Classes Aid Council exists to provide help and give assistance to professional people and their families overtaken by adverse circumstances. Applicants need to be considered a ‘professional’ or have a family member who is considered a ‘professional'. Therefore applicants or their parents need to already hold a degree.  They help students who are British citizens or who have indefinite leave to remain in the UK

Grants are mostly to help students at the end of their courses, where they originally had the means to complete the course but then, through no fault of their own, their funds dried up. They help home and international students. Priority is given to those in their final year.

You may be able to receive help if you:

Are in the final three years of your degree
Started the course with the expectation of having enough funding
Have exhausted all other forms of help (student loan, career development loan etc).
Are not looking for help with intercalated years or elective funding.
