Student carers

We offer a Student Carer Funding package during your first year at Kent. Find out more about the funding and how to apply. 

If you are caring for a child or children, please see our page about pregnancy and parenting for more information about nurseries and advice around having children on campus. 

If you find your caring responsibilities or other personal circumstances are making it difficult to engage with your course, please get in touch with the Student Engagement Team who can discuss this with you and help you to find a way forward.

If you want to speak with someone about your specific situation, you can get in touch with Kent Students' Union by emailing kentunion@kent.ac.uk.

For support and advice, you can get in touch with Kent Student's Union Advice Service, or the VP for Welfare and Community.
