This is a weekly payment for students who have a low household income. To check if you are eligible for this financial support please ask at student services for an application form. This form will explain what evidence will be needed as proof of household income. We would appreciate it if you could complete the form as soon as possible, however decisions on who will receive the financial support may not be made until September at the start of the college term or later depending on when your application was received. If you are eligible your payments will be back dated to the week your course started – this is assessed on a weekly basis in line with the average College rates of participation. Payments are made directly into your bank account.
Who can apply?
- You must be aged 16 or over
- You must be studying a full time or part time course at the college
- Total household income must be approximately £30,500 or less.
