Discretionary and Vulnerable Bursaries
A student must be aged 16 to be eligible for help from the bursary. Students with a household income less than £24,000 per year are eligible to claim a discretionary bursary towards the cost of attending the Sixth Form.
Claims are means tested and evidence of household income is required. The amount may vary dependent upon need and the amount of claims made during the year. Evidence of earnings for students currently eligible for free school meals will not be required.
A vulnerable bursary of up to £1,200 per year is available to students who are in care, care leavers, students in receipt of income support or disabled students in receipt of both Universal Credit AND Personal Independence Payments.
Application forms and required evidence must be provided before vulnerable and discretionary claims can be processed. Further details and application forms are available from Dawn Armstrong in the Sheraton Office.
