Vulnerable Students
You will be eligible for a small amount of financial support if you are either in care or you are on free school meals.
For 2022/2023 this is £15 per week, this could change after final numbers are considered. This is increased if students are in care. Payments are made to match students’ weekly attendance.
If you think you will be eligible then complete the application form which is available from the Sixth Form office.
The Bursary is only guaranteed for students in care.
All students who have been in receipt of Free School Meals or who have been in receipt of the discretionary bursary last year, with no changed circumstances are entitled to apply for the discretionary bursary. Other students, who are not or have not been in receipt of Free School Meals in the last 6 years, but who are experiencing hardship related to the costs of study are also entitled to apply. You might be eligible for financial support if your family earns less that £25,000.
