16 - 19 Bursary Fund: Students in Vulnerable Groups
Students who are in one of the following vulnerable groups may be eligible for a bursary of up to £1,200 per academic year, depending on their individual financial needs and the costs associated with their study programme:
- Young people who are currently in care.
- Care leavers.
- Young people receiving Income Support or Universal Credit in their own right because they are financially supporting themselves (and, where applicable, a dependent living with them).
- Young people receiving Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in addition to Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or Universal Credit (UC) in their own right.
The amount awarded will be based on an assessment of individual need and may be used to help with costs such as travel, meals, books, equipment, educational visits, or other essential course-related expenses.
The maximum bursary available is £1,200 per year. Awards are not automatically made at this level and will be determined according to individual circumstances, actual costs incurred, and the length of the study programme.
Students applying for this bursary will be required to provide appropriate evidence of their eligibility.
