“At University Living, we understand that the transition from university to a professional career can be both exciting and uncertain for international students. Many students face financial stress while job hunting, making stable housing a top priority. Through UL – Uni Extended Stay, we are bridging this crucial gap by providing structured rental assistance, ensuring students have a secure place to stay as they focus on their career aspirations. Our collaboration with FlashAid reinforces our mission to support students beyond university, empowering them to take the next step in their journey with confidence. By reducing financial stress, this initiative also enhances students’ overall well-being, mental health, and career readiness—ensuring they can transition into their professional lives with greater stability and confidence.”
Students can easily claim benefits through FlashAid’s digital reimbursement portal: https://www.universityliving.com/UES ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Required documents include a university-issued certificate confirming unemployment, registration with job placement agencies, and evidence of job-seeking efforts, such as application records and interview outcomes. However, the plan does not include unemployment due to visa issues, legal violations, or voluntary resignation.
Commenting on this, Manoj Gupta, Founder and CEO from Flashaid said: “Securing a job and stable housing after graduation is a challenge for many international students, and financial uncertainty can make this transition even more stressful. At FlashAid, our goal is to provide a safety net that enables students to focus on their aspirations rather than worrying about rent or healthcare costs. Our partnership with University Living ensures that students have the right support when they need it most helping them confidently step into their professional lives. By easing financial burdens, we are strengthening student well-being and ensuring they have every opportunity to succeed.”
Looking ahead, University Living and FlashAid plan to expand UL – Uni Extended Stay beyond the UK, tailoring the initiative to students in other study destinations. By addressing key financial concerns, this partnership aims to create a holistic post-study support system for international students worldwide.
