The Standard Bursary from Bradford College’s Learner Support Fund is for 16 to 18-year-old Further Education students with a gross household income of less than £25,000.
It’s to help you with the cost of studying and is a grant, so you won’t need to pay it back.
You may get help with things like:
- travel costs to and from College
- meals in College
- £100 towards course-related costs such as equipment, books, exams re-sits and some course trips.
Some of the bursary may be paid in the form of a bus pass, vouchers or equipment instead of cash.
You must:
- be aged 16, 17 or 18 on the appropriate date
- be enrolled on a full-time funded course
- show evidence of household income/benefits
- meet the residence requirement
- attend your classes
