The University of the West Indies, Mona

Meal assistance may be available for students who have applied and have demonstarted that they are having a difficulty in meeting the cost of food while studying on Campus.  Meal cards can be used at approved concessionaires on Campus to offset the purchase of meals only. The daily amount per school day is JMD500.  Approved students must sign the terms and conditions document before the meal card is issued.  Cards not returned at the end of May each year will attract a JMD1000 to defray the cost of replacing the card.

Currently, Three (3) types of grants are available:

• Book Grants - these are given to offset the costs of book(s) which are needed by the student. 
• Cash Grants -  these are cash amounts provided to offset small expenses incurred by the students.
• Housing Grants - allocations to defray balances owed to UWI for outstanding fees to UWI owned halls of residence

• The applicant must be a full-time undergraduate student at the Mona Campus (Kingston or WJC location)
• Applicant must be able to prove that they have exhausted or been turned down for all other available sources of financing for reasons not connected with non-payment of previous loans.
• The applicant should have failed no more than one course. In exceptional cases where it can be established that lack of funds has contributed significantly to the poor academic performance, some consideration may be given.
