The 16-19 Bursary
The 16 to 19 Bursary Fund provides financial support to help students overcome the specific financial barriers to participation they face so they can remain in education.
There are 2 types of 16 to 19 bursaries:
- bursaries for defined vulnerable groups
- discretionary bursaries
Both types of bursary funding are to help eligible students with essential costs of participating, such as travel to and from school or college or to buy essential books, equipment, or specialist clothing (protective overalls, for example) that are required for their study programme. These are items a student would otherwise need to pay for to participate.
The bursary fund is not intended to provide learning support – services that you give to students, for example, counselling or mentoring – or to support extracurricular activities that are not essential to the students’ study programme or to provide living costs support.
Applications should be made through Bursary16+
If you have any queries about the application process, please email Mr Jacob Duncan, Deputy Head of Sixth Form. For all queries relating to finance and payments, please email Mrs Isabelle Sandy, School Business Manager.
