Following the move, Trinity College Students Union (TCSU) said the measure would impact some of the most disadvantaged students at a time of national uncertainty .
A spokesperson told The Tab: This measure will undoubtedly impact some of the most disadvantaged students at an exceptionally difficult stage in their studies. Although we are pleased that students who remain in residence will not be affected by these cutbacks, we believe it is unjust to reduce the bursaries of those not in residence as it assumes that students do not incur costs when absent from College grounds.
Trinity College has cut their bursaries for undergraduates who have not returned to Cambridge by 50 per cent for the entirety of Lent term, the college has confirmed in a statement to The Tab Cambridge.
Undergraduate students from “low and middle-income families” currently receive additional support from the college, in addition to the Cambridge Bursary, for students with a household income of below £42,620.
The college told The Tab this affects a “small proportion” of students and that they are continuing to provide “50 per cent of the full amount in recognition of the recipients’ need to cover daily living expenses, if not College rent, this term.”

The Trinity College Student Union has criticised the wording used by Trinity Master and former Chief Medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies, in an email sent to students last night (4th February).
In this email, Davies told students, ‘if your situation deteriorates and you are in imminent danger, contact us. Otherwise, please all join our wonderful silent majority of students who are resiliently getting on with studies and life at home.’
The President of TCSU sent an email to Trinity students this morning, explaining that ‘“Please all join our wonderful silent majority of students” was not the right choice of words.’
