Funding assistance
The CPIT Hardship Fund is to assist currently enrolled students who face unexpected financial hardship. The hardship fund is setup to enable these students to continue their current course of study. Scholarships and awards are also available as another source of financial assistance.
Each hardship application is considered on its own merits as to whether it meets the scheme’s criteria. You can download an CPIT Hardship Fund Application Form (PDF: 0.1MB) to apply.
