You may get help with things like:
- travel costs to and from College
- meals in College up to four times per week
- £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
