Money matters
If you're 16-18 on 1 September 2011, all our
courses for you are free. You'll pay
£30 on enrolment day to cover the cost of course
materials.
As a student, there are lots of ways to help cover the costs of
coming to college.
Guaranteed bursary
If you are 16-19 and in
care, are a care leaver or getting income support you could get a
£1200 bursary. This will be linked to your attendance and
behaviour, similar to how EMA worked.
College bursary
If your household income is below £21,000 per year we can offer
financial assistance for course related costs including books and
equipment, travel and meals.
You may be entitled to a free discount bus pass that allows you
to travel over the ‘First Bus’ network at the reduced child’s fare.
If you are not entitled to a free pass you can buy a discount pass
for £90 per year.
Childcare support
You could be eligible for childcare payments to help you study.
These can be used at our own nursery or other local providers.

you’re eligible for financial assistance please contact our Student
