If your family are on a low income, the school or college should be approached for help. Most establishments receive 16-19 bursary funds to provide targeted help to individuals in need. They may choose to make financial awards to young people in ways that best fit their needs and circumstances.

Bursary awards should be targeted towards young people facing financial barriers to education, such as the costs of transport, meals, books and equipment. You will need to contact the establishment direct to discuss possible bursary funding.
