Important Information and Guidance
Education Maintenance Allowances (EMA) are available for students who are under the age of 18 on the start date of their course. If the student is awarded an EMA, they will be eligible for £30 per week which is paid into their chosen bank account.
The Childcare fund is available for assistance towards childcare costs.
· The amount awarded will be dependent on household income.
· Childcare will only be paid for timetabled hours – including mandatory placements – it won’t include study days.
· You will be responsible for any costs that are not met by the College.

Bursary Maintenance Awards may be available for students aged 18 years (unless they are Care Experience) or over on the date their course starts. The amount awarded will depend on your circumstances. If you are currently in receipt of benefits, you MUST inform the relevant benefit agency, (i.e. Department of Work & Pensions) that you will be a full time student. The benefits you receive while you are a student will determine what funding is available to you. For more information, please click the link of the Bursary that you are interested in.
This fund is based on household income, therefore, not all students who apply for assistance with Rent/Mortgage Interest will be eligible to receive support towards their claim.
