16-19 Funding

The 16-19 Bursary Fund is a government resource designed to support those students who may be experiencing financial hardship, helping them to continue in full time education by removing barriers to participation. It may be used to help with purchasing books and equipment and also for travel costs, course related trips, re-sit fees, entrance exams and travel to Open Days. We may also be able to provide you with a laptop for your studies.
