The college is committed to doing everything it can for students to allow them to attend college free from financial worries.
The Government have made additional funding available to colleges to support students who have difficulty in attending because of financial considerations.
This fund has been used to provide both a Guaranteed Bursary and Hardship Fund for students to access.
Guaranteed Bursary
Students who are eligible for the Guaranteed Bursary must meet one of the following criteria:
- In receipt of income support
- In receipt of both Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance
- A Care Leaver
- Looked after status
Evidence of the above will need to be provided.
Hardship Fund
Any student regardless of their age or course they are studying can access the Hardship Fund; evidence will need to be provided to show that your household income is £15,276 or below or that you are in exceptional hardship circumstances.
Other financial support is also available.
