Sixth Form Bursary
Financial support is available to eligible students from the 16 to 19 bursary fund.
The fund is intended to support students aged 16 to 19 in overcoming specific financial barriers to participation so they can remain in education.
To be eligible to receive a bursary you must be:
- Aged over 16 and under 19 on 31 August in the academic year in which you start your course
- Resident in the EU for 3 years or more
- Enrolled on A Level Courses
- On a means-tested benefit, or dependant on parents on a means-tested benefit, in financial hardship or in the 'vulnerable group' as defined by the ESFA above.
If you are applying for the Vulnerable Group Bursary Award you must be able to provide evidence that demonstrates you meet the eligibility criteria set out above and in the Bursary Policy, to receive an award.
If you are applying for a Discretionary Bursary Award, you must be able to provide evidence that demonstrates you or your parents/carers are in receipt of a means-tested benefit and/or that you are in financial hardship. We will use our discretion to make awards to students in ways that best fit their needs and circumstances.
Priority for these discretionary awards will be given in the first instance to those students eligible as per the Bursary Policy.
Please complete an application form as soon as possible, which must be printed, signed and then given to the deputy head of Sixth Form, Miss Waters, along with proof of eligibility. You will be informed as to whether your application has been accepted.
