If you are facing financial challenges that specifically prevent you from accessing events or global experiences specifically related to Imperial Business School, then you can apply for a subsidy from the Student Life Experience Fund.

There is only one review date for MSc Global Trips: 20 October 2025 (09:00 BST).

You must apply by this deadline in order to be eligible for the Student Life Experience Fund for MSc Global Trips. You cannot make retroactive applications after this date.

Please note - Students can receive support for one global activity per academic programme (i.e., one Global Trip or one exchange experience)

You may be eligible if:
- You are currently enrolled at Imperial Business School.
- You are facing financial challenges, meaning that after covering essential expenses (e.g. rent, food, utilities), it is difficult to afford participation in Business School events or global experiences.
- You are experiencing hardship, such as struggling to meet day-to-day costs (e.g. food, rent, travel) and therefore cannot participate in a Business School event or global trip.
- You can provide clear evidence of financial need, such as a recent bank statement.
