Apply for funding to cover the costs of attending your graduation ceremony.
Graduation support application form
If your application is successful, the financial support will cover the cost of two guest tickets, gown hire and a basic photography package.
Funds for graduation support are limited, and we’re not able to approve all applications.
Important: If you have any outstanding University debt you are not eligible for graduation support.
Receiving the graduation support fund payment
We’ll aim to process your application within 20 working days of receiving your application and all supporting documents.
If your application is approved the award will be paid through the Sussex Aspire Engagement Portal. This portal is designed to support you in accessing funds you may be eligible to receive.
You’ll receive an email from Sussex Aspire with your login details to access the Engagement Portal. You’ll be able to withdraw your funds when you log in. Withdrawn funds are usually paid instantly but can take up to two hours.
If you have any questions or need support in withdrawing your funds, email student.info@sussex-aspire.co.uk.
For any other queries, email the Sussex Student Funding Team at studentfunding@sussex.ac.uk.
