The Hardship Fund and Care Leaver Bursary

Supported by their Access and Participation Plan fund, the College offers the following two forms of financial support to eligible students:

  • Hardship Fund – this is a means-tested fund, which provides non-refundable grants of up to £500 per annum for students at risk of withdrawing from their programme of study due to financial challenges, with priority given to groups known to be at risk of non-continuation; and
  • Care Leaver Bursary – this is an annual, non-means tested and non-refundable Bursary of £500 per annum for 18-24 year old care leavers to cover additional costs of HTE study not covered by maintenance loans.

Both forms of financial support can be applied for once an eligible student is enrolled and registered on their programme of study.
