You can help a student in need get back on track.
As the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite, RMIT students are under enormous financial pressure.
A broken laptop, a cut in their shifts at work, or an unexpected medical bill can be enough to push them to the brink.
None of these things should get in the way of a student’s long-term goals. But they do.
For too many, dropping out of uni can seem like the only viable option.
Student Hardship Allowances are a lifeline for these students. These one-off payments of up to $1000 can give desperate students the break they need to get back on track, but we are struggling to keep up with demand.
You can help. Your gift, whatever the amount, will help ensure we don’t have to turn students in need away.
With your support, we can help students in need to refocus on their learning and ensure that we, as a society, do not lose all they will be able to offer with an RMIT education behind them.
Please give what you can today.
You have given me the greatest assistance which is hope. I honestly cannot thank you all enough for helping me more than you will ever know. Sincere thanks from deep in my heart for throwing me a lifeline.
