Financial Support

Financial Support

We offer a Bursary Fund and Free Meals to help eligible students with study-related costs. This support is aimed at students aged 19 or under on 31st August 2025, with a household income below £45,000 per year.

The bursary can help with expenses such as meals, a bus pass, and for some students, learning materials, IT equipment, trips, DBS checks and more.

To help you settle into college, eligible students may receive a bursary starter pack during their first week, which includes a bus pass, meal support, and essential stationery.

Through the Summit Base Camp initiative, we also provide additional support such as:

  • A warm, safe space
  • Breakfast (toast) from 8:30 am
  • A food pantry, hygiene and health care products
  • Free Wi-Fi, charging points, and mobile data SIM cards
  • Cultural experiences and help with trip costs

You can apply for the bursary after enrolling at the College via the Student Portal.

If you have questions please contact the Bursary Office by email.
