Brilliant article from our CEO Peter Gray on how students are spending hardship funds awarded by their respective university.

@dannymac1606 Hi Danny, thank you for your tweet. I'm sorry to hear you aren't happy with your purchase. Have you contacted the customer service team regarding your order? SG

@JSGroupHE so someone in their wisdom sent this which I can get on amazon for less than £60 when my order was for an item valued at £90. No update or partial refund. What you doing to students?! Give your head a wobble.

The higher education sector needs more data on scholarships, bursaries and hardship funds to help steer investment decisions by universities. We can help your university to be more efficient with bursary allocation - find out here: jsgroup.co.uk/insight-report/

Our report, 'Shining the light on student financial support', indicates some interesting UK regional differences regarding how students spend their cash from their scholarships, bursaries and hardship funds. Find out more in the full report: jsgroup.co.uk/insight-report/

Fascinating insights about how our partner universities are supporting their students and the needs they are meeting.

63% of cash from hardship funds, bursaries and scholarships is being used by students to cope with the cost-of-living pressures (via rent, bills food). See the report here: jsgroup.co.uk/insight-report/

Find out how university students spend their bursaries, scholarships & hardship funds – see our report on spending patterns of £19.1m cash by 53k students. See the report here: jsgroup.co.uk/insight-report/

Holistic approaches to equality and diversity and strategic institution-wide approaches to inclusion. Great to hear about the work of @advancehe from @DavidAdvanceHE at the @guildhe EDI Symposium, thanks to @JSGroupHE for working in partnership with us on the event
