In need of some extra support? Boost has you covered
We understand the impact of the rising cost of living has had on you, the student, so we’ve created NMITE Boost – an additional support scheme that we hope will help ease the burden of day-to-day costs.
Some of these bonuses include free meals, a free food shopping scheme, free sanitary products, additional emergency financial support, and travel expense support.
We're constantly evolving our Boost Scheme with new ideas from Students and Staff. So if you think Boost is missing something, just let us know and we'll accommodate as much as we can!
