The Student Funding Office (SFO) provides information and advice about financial support available to students.
Our mission is to improve financial awareness through information and effective delivery of student funding.
This means that we are here to help you with your finances, both by raising your awareness of the funding you could get and by helping you manage your money effectively.
We provide information about the funding available to you, including government grants, student loans and other allowances.
We administer a range of centrally managed bursaries, scholarships and prizes. This includes the Birmingham Grant and Scholarship.
We administer hardship fund applications through the Access to Learning Fund (ALF).
We give you budgeting advice to help you manage your money.
We are located in the Aston Webb Building C Block (reference R7 on the Edgbaston campus map).
