ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

You could get a bursary to help with education-related costs if you’re aged 16 to 19 and studying at school or college (not University) in England or on a training course including unpaid work experience. A bursary is money that you, or your education or training provider, can use to pay for things like clothing, books and other equipment for your course or transport and lunch on days that you study. This document contains details of what bursary funding is available for students in Hull. It provides information on all post-16 learning establishments with a base in Hull. For each institution, information is given on eligibility criteria, what support is available should you be eligible and contact details should you need more information or want to talk to someone about your options.

As a general overview, the 16-19 Bursary Fund has two elements to it: 1. A bursary of £1,200 a year is available to you if you fall into one or more of the following categories: a. you are in, or have recently left local authority care b. you get Income Support or Universal Credit because you’re financially supporting yourself c. you get Disability Living Allowance (DLA) in your name and either Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or Universal Credit d. you get Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in your name and either ESA or Universal Credit 2. Discretionary awards may be made by providers to young people in ways that best fit the needs and circumstances of their students. Bursary awards are targeted towards those young people who face the greatest financial barriers to participation such as the costs of transport, meals, books and equipment. Providers are free to determine the assessment criteria for eligibility for discretionary bursaries and the frequency of payments.

To be eligible to receive a 16-19 Bursary in the 2020/21 academic year, you must: 1. Be aged under 19 at the start of the academic year in which you start your programme of study and; 2. Be participating in provision that is subject to inspection by a public body that assures quality e.g. Ofsted. The provision must also be either: a. Funded directly by the ESFA or by ESFA via Local Authority b. Funded or co-financed by the European Social Fund c. Otherwise publicly funded and lead to a qualification (up to and including Level 3) accredited by Ofqual or on the ESFA list of qualifications approved for funding 14-19 d.

A discretionary bursary may be awarded to help you with the cost of transport, meals, books or equipment needed to complete your course. Eligibility for a discretionary bursary is dependent on your household income.

In addition to a bursary, some students may also be eligible for a free meal in further education (FMFE) on each (timetabled) day that they attend their training programme.

Support Available

If you are awarded a bursary because you are within one of the defined vulnerable groups, you could be awarded up to £1,200 for the year if you are on a programme that lasts for 30 weeks or more in the same academic year.

If you do not require the full £1,200 for the year, either because your financial needs are already being met or because your relevant costs are low, you may be awarded less than the maximum amount, or have your application refused. If you are on a programme lasting for less than 30 weeks you will be allocated a bursary on a pro-rata basis.

If you are awarded a discretionary bursary, this is allocated based on your actual costs e.g. the price of a bus ticket from your home to where you are studying or on work placement. As the discretionary bursary is targeted at those students who most need financial help, your total household income will be to help establish the amount of support awarded:

 Band 1 – if your annual household income is £25,000 or less you will be awarded 100% of your actual costs  Band 2 – if your annual household income is between £25,000 and £27,500 you will be awarded 75% of your actual costs  Band 3 – if your annual household income is between £27,500 and £30,000 you will be awarded 50% of your actual costs

If your household income is more that £30,000 per year you will not be eligible for a discretionary bursary.

All bursary payments are subject to you attending your timetabled training sessions and meeting acceptable standards of behaviour, including punctuality, as laid out in the Learning Agreement and Code of Conduct that you agree to and sign during your induction.

UNIVERSITY TECHNICAL COLLEGES

Ron Dearing University Technical College

Eligibility Criteria

Bursaries can only be paid to students that meet the Department for Education’s residency qualification. There are three types of bursary awards available:

1. Vulnerable Student Bursary A fixed award to students who fall within the following criteria:  Young people in care  Young people who have left care (care leaver)  Student’s receiving Income Support, or Universal Credit because they are financially supporting themselves or financially supporting themselves and someone who is dependent on them and living with them such as a child or partner  Student’s receiving Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payments in their own right as well as Employment and Support Allowance or Universal Credit in their own right

For students qualifying for a Vulnerable Student Bursary, RDUTC will receive a fixed award of £1,200 (which will be pro-rated for any students starting later in the course), payable over the duration of the course. RDUTC will agree with the student how the award can be used to support them.

2. Discretionary Awards These awards are more flexible and can be awarded to any student deemed eligible by the school. Some awards require the student to be eligible for free school meals (FSM). All Post 16 students who believe they are eligible for FSM need to apply at the start of each academic year, so at the start of both year 12 and year 13. All applications should be made to Hull City Council, including those that have applied to other authorities in the past, (http://www.hull.gov.uk/education-and- schools/schools/free-school-meals). All applicants must provide information on the household income, so that an assessment of need can be undertaken.

3. Partners Bursary – Driving Lessons RDUTC’s Sponsors and Partners are committed to supporting the students in being ready for employment. Year 13 students with 95% or higher attendance in lessons during Year 12 and in Year 13 and who have passed the Driving Theory Test may apply for a Bursary to support up to 20 hours driving lessons. Further details of this scheme will be provided to Year 13 students.

Support Available

Travel The principal assistance provided to students is to cover excessive transport costs to and from RDUTC. We will only support the cheapest form of return travel to RDUTC by public transport.

We expect all students or their parents/carers to contribute towards the cost of travel. This is currently £13.50 per week (the cost of a Mega Rider Plus in Hull). Travel costs by rail or bus in excess of this can be claimed from the Bursary Fund. Payments will be made at the start of each half term, the first being in early October.

Students will be asked to provide evidence of the expenditure, such as a used ticket, at the start of each half term so that the ongoing need for support can be verified. Failure to provide this evidence will delay payment of the bursary. Should attendance in the academic year fall below 95%, RDUTC may reduce the amount paid to reflect attendance.

Other Support Students in households where the total income is below £35,000, including students on Free School Meals, may also apply for additional support in the following areas:

 Books materials and equipment needed to complete the chosen course  Emergency accommodation and meals  Course trips  Interviews and Open days at Universities (travel costs to and from the university)

Awards are payable to the student, and will be settled to their bank account on receipt of evidence of the expenditure incurred.

If students experience exceptional hardship they are encouraged to discuss the circumstance with the Head of Year, so that we can discuss what support might be available.

Prioritisation At RDUTC priority for discretionary awards is given to support students with transport costs. Once bursaries for transport costs have been allocated, consideration will be given to other applications, providing this is affordable within the financial plan.
