Financial Help

How much will my full-time course cost?

Full-time education is free to everyone under 20*, and parents and guardians will still receive Child benefits for people under 20 studying full-time. Additional financial help may also be available to you, this includes the HCUK Young People’s Bursary and additional help with travelling costs. *Subject to status and residency.

The rules and regulations covering financial help available are complicated and are dependent upon a person’s individual circumstances. If you have been receiving support at school it is likely that you will be entitled to financial help to study at College. However, some courses may have additional examination and registration fees as well as costs for materials such as stationery.

Remember, we are here to help, if you have any questions about the financial support available, just give our Student Support Services Team a call on 01405 762420.
