HE Student Bursary Fund 2000-01

Introduction 1 In Circular 00/14: Learner Support Funds 2000-01 information is given on learner support funds for the 2000-01 teaching year. These funds are intended to meet: • general access needs for further education (FE) students • specific access needs of higher education (HE) students • additional costs faced by full-time undergraduate, and full- and part-time school-centred initial teacher training (SCITT) and postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) mature students in FE colleges who have dependent children • childcare costs for FE students • residential accommodation costs for FE students who have to study away from home. 2 The circular sets out the eligibility criteria for learner support funds and the terms and conditions governing the use of these funds for 2000-01. It also includes provisional allocations of FE and HE access funds, the FE childcare fund and the FE residential bursary fund to colleges in the further education sector, external institutions and higher education institutions for 2000-01. 3 Advance notification of the new HE bursary fund for mature students is also included in Circular 00/14: Learner Support Funds 2000-1. The terms and conditions governing the use of this fund for 2000-01 and the allocations to colleges offering Council-funded HE provision are now available from the and Employment (DfEE) and are set out in this document.

Background 4 The bursary fund is part of a new support package for HE students announced by the secretary of state for education and employment. The DfEE has allocated £1.36 million for bursaries for HE students in FE colleges for 2000-01. Allocations of this fund will be additional to the existing allocations of specific HE access funds. 5 The fund will run for one year only. It is intended to phase out payments gradually from September 2001-02, taking account of existing commitments to students, following the introduction of childcare grants of up to £100 a week for each child to students with dependent children. Local education authorities will administer these new grants. 6 The fund will change in nature in 2001-02 to enable institutions to provide non- repayable bursaries for young students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Purpose of the New HE Bursary Fund 7 The fund will provide bursaries for full-time undergraduate, and full- and part- time SCITT and PGCE mature students in FE colleges who have dependent children. The bursaries, which will be given according to need, will be for up to £1,000. They are for students with dependent children and are intended to help many mature students with children - especially lone parents - with the additional costs they face on

entering higher education, particularly childcare, but also travel and other course- related costs. Both new entrants and existing students will be eligible. The bursaries will be discretionary, and will be administered by colleges. HE students in receipt of bursaries may receive additional help from the HE and FE access funds.

Basis of Distribution 8 In line with the guidance from ministers, the new fund has been distributed among colleges offering HE provision. The fund has been allocated on the basis of full-time equivalent (FTE) numbers of full-time students aged 25 or over on HE level qualifications. The provisional rate is £181.92 for each FTE. 9 Colleges with less than 1.0 FTE full-time students have not received an allocation. However, they have been included in annex B for completeness. Where allocations have been made there is a minimum allocation of £500. While the bursaries are for up to £1,000 in most cases, colleges with small allocations will not be able to give this amount.

Learner Support for HE students in FE Colleges 10 Both part-time and full-time HE undergraduate students are eligible for specific HE support (existing access and new bursary funds) and, where necessary, the general FE access fund: see paragraphs 4 – 6 in supplement A, annex A of Circular 00/14. Postgraduate students are eligible only if they are facing severe hardship. Eligible HE students should be considered for the new bursary fund before they can be considered for specific HE or general FE access funds. HE students are not eligible for support from FE childcare or residential funds (see Terms and conditions and guidance notes on the new HE bursary fund are given in annex A to this document). Guidance on hardship loans for 2000-01 will be issued by the DfEE in August 2000.

11 General FE access funds cannot be paid to students in FE colleges on franchised HE courses, who can only receive student support from their franchisor or HE institution. The franchise rule also applies to partnership arrangements where the course delivery is split between the HE institution and an FE college and the student is registered at the HE institution. Colleges should liaise with HE institutions to ensure that adequate support services are available for franchised and partnership students. 12 For the purpose of administering these funds, a part-time HE student is a student who is working to a minimum of 60 credit points in a teaching year where the full- time equivalent is 120 credit points, or 50% of a course in other schemes.

Availability of FE and HE Funds for Childcare Support 13 FE students in colleges and external institutions are eligible for childcare support from the FE childcare and general access funds. HE students in FE colleges are eligible for childcare support from the HE bursary fund. FE students on Council-funded provision in HE institutions are eligible for childcare support from the FE childcare fund see Table 2.

Benefit Implications 14 Subject to parliamentary approval, the Department of Social Security (DSS) proposes to disregard in full these bursaries for mature students, as they are not intended for general living costs. Further guidance is given in annex A.

Allocations 15 The allocation of the HE student bursary fund to colleges offering Council-funded HE provision is shown in annex B, together with a re-statement of their allocations of other funds. Funds included in the total for administration have been increased to reflect this additional allocation of funds. The allocations shown in annex B are provisional and may be amended once the enrolment data have been validated or in the light of other developments. 16 It is open to any college to decline the allocation offered if it considers that the level of the allocation is such that the administrative burden of complying with the terms and conditions outweighs the possible benefit to students. Institutions declining their allocation of the HE student bursary fund are asked to complete a copy of the certificate included in supplement B, annex F of Circular 00/14.

Payments 17 The DfEE has set terms and conditions under which HE student bursary funds may be paid and these are set out in annex A. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions could result in access funds being withheld from the Council or individual colleges.

18 Before HE student bursary funds may be paid to a college, the Council must receive a completed copy of the certificate included in supplement B, annex F in Circular 00/14 to confirm that the college accepts the allocation made, or a reduced amount, and will comply with the terms and conditions. Colleges which return a completed certificate by 28 July will receive half their allocation during August; 25% of the allocation will be paid in December and the remaining 25% in March 2001.

Use of Learner Support Funds 19 Colleges are not required to hold HE student bursary funds in separate interest- bearing bank accounts. However, they should ensure that administrative procedures exist to ensure that appropriate interest is identified and recorded. For simplicity, institutions may wish to allocate all interest to the general FE access fund: see Circular 00/14. Interest earned on an institution’s learner support fund accounts may be used to defray audit costs. Bank charges may not be deducted from HE student bursary fund allocations. 20 The secretary of state for education and employment requires colleges to provide information detailing how HE student bursary funds were spent in 2000-01. By the end of each teaching year, the Council will require each college to demonstrate its contribution to improving access and retention and the national learning targets. For this purpose, forms are provided in supplement B, annex G of Circular 00/14 for colleges to photocopy, complete and return to the Council or its successor body by 24 August 2001.

Unspent HE Student Bursary Funds 21 If, during the course of the teaching year, a college considers that it will be unable to spend all of its HE bursary fund allocation, it is asked to consider whether there is a need for additional HE access funds to help other HE students. If so, it may vire HE student bursary funds to the specific HE access fund to meet additional HE student needs. If not, it is asked to contact the Council and arrange to repay any funds that are not required. The Council will distribute any returned funds to other institutions that can make use of additional learner support funds. Colleges which do not comply with this request may prejudice their future eligibility to learner support funds. 22 The Council will recover funds identified by colleges as undistributed at the end of the teaching year from the normal monthly payments to the college. For the 2000- 01 teaching year, recovery of such funds will be made in October 2001.

Reallocation of Learner Support Funds 23 Colleges which return their monitoring information (supplement B, annex G in Circular 00/14) by 24 August 2001, and have shown that they have distributed additional funds from their own resources, may be considered for a share of any unused funds that are returned to the Council following the year-end. The Council will redistribute funds within the learner support umbrella. It is anticipated that this redistribution will be made in November 2001.

Identification of Unmet Need 24 There may be a need for colleges to use their own hardship funds to supplement the funds allocated by the Council for HE student bursaries. Colleges may wish to consider using the budgeting and accounting processes shown in Circular 00/14: Learner Support Funds 2000-01: paragraph 44, which offer potential benefits to themselves, the Council and the DfEE.

Guidance to Institutions 25 The terms and conditions, which are attached to the payment of the new HE student bursary fund, give colleges discretion in the use of funds. Guidance notes, which amplify and explain the terms and conditions, have been prepared by the DfEE and are published in supplement A, annex D of Circular 00/14. 26 Colleges should provide full information to HE students about any extra costs of courses before HE students enrol. They should develop and publicise application, decision-making and appeal processes, which are fair, transparent and effective. Colleges should aim to make this information available to students both at the college and through their local careers service.

Key Dates 27 Key dates and action required by those dates are presented in table 3. Failure by colleges to return annex F or the relevant forms in annex G (in supplement B of Circular 00/14) for the HE student bursary fund allocated to them could prevent the fund being made available or lead to the fund being recovered from the institution.

7 Annex A

Guidance for the Payment of HE Student Bursaries: 2000-01 Teaching Year

Introduction 1 The secretary of state has announced that £17 million has been made available to provide non-repayable bursaries for full-time and certain part-time mature students with dependants in the teaching year 2000-01. Some £1.36 million of this will be available for HE students in FE colleges. The DfEE is making this guidance available now, so that colleges can make arrangements to advertise, promote and process applications for the bursaries from existing and prospective mature students.

Bursary Allocations 2 As part of this guidance, you will receive details of the funds that the Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) has allocated to you for bursaries. Colleges will receive half their allocation during August, 25% in December and the remaining 25% in March.

Eligibility for the Bursaries 3 These bursaries for mature students should only be awarded to full-time undergraduate home students and full-time or part-time (where part-time is at least 50% full time equivalent) home students on initial teacher training courses, who have dependent children. In this context ‘home’ student means a student who meets the conditions relating to residence which apply to learner support funds.

Who are the Bursaries for? 4 The bursaries are for full-time undergraduate, and full- and part-time SCITT and PGCE mature students (that is, aged 25 and over) with dependent children, according to need. Within this group, priority should be given to lone parents. Bursaries can be given to existing students as well as new entrants. If funds are available, students aged under 25 who are lone parents or who have dependent children can also receive a bursary, if the college considers that they are in need of this additional help. 5 SCITT or PGCE students who are eligible to apply for a Teacher Training Agency (TTA) bursary through the Secondary Shortage Subject Scheme should apply for that first, rather than an access bursary. Mature students who receive a TTA bursary should not receive an HE student bursary as well. They will, however, continue to be eligible for help from specific HE and general FE access funds subject to the Terms and Conditions of Grant in Circular 00/14 annex A: Learner Support Funds 2000-01. 6 When awarding bursaries, colleges should bear in mind that from September 2001, an HE Childcare Grant will be available to existing and new full-time students with dependent children, which is intended to replace both the bursaries for mature students and the current flat rate lone parent’s grant.

8 Annex A

What are the Bursaries for? 7 The bursaries are available to meet the costs of childcare, travel and other course- related costs. They should not be given to help pay contributions to tuition fees. The bursaries are also not intended to meet general living costs. Payments from the specific HE and, subject to the Terms and Conditions of Grant in Circular 00/14: Learner Support Funds 2000-01: annex A, may be used to help mature students who need such additional help. Note: FE access funds are not intended to be paid to HE students on franchised or partnership courses.

How much can Individual Students Receive Through HE Student Bursaries? 8 Bursaries of up to £1,000 can be given to individual students, based on need. Colleges should also have regard to the availability of funding when deciding how much to give to individual students.

When Should the Bursaries be paid to Students? 9 Bursaries should not be paid to students until they have enrolled and are attending the course. However, we would encourage colleges to begin assessing applications and awarding the bursaries well before this and ideally, during the summer term. Many mature HE students may wish to apply for the bursary before finally deciding whether to take up a place on a course. The firm commitment of a bursary may be an important factor in their deciding to do so.

How will Mature Students know about the Bursaries? 10 The department has produced a booklet – Making a Difference – which sets out the help available to mature students and others currently under-represented in higher education. This leaflet advises mature students to contact their college - or their parent HE institution if they are on a franchised or partnership course - to ask about applying for a bursary at the same time as they apply for the course. Colleges should have already received copies of the leaflet to give to mature students and copies will also be sent to LEAs, Job Centres and others. For further copies, colleges can ring 0800 731 9133. 11 Colleges should ensure that prospective and existing students know about the bursaries and when, how and where to apply for them. The DfEE encourages colleges to ensure that staff are able to answer questions from prospective students about the bursaries and how they will operate. It will be particularly important for this information to be available to those staff within the college who have contact with prospective mature students, that is, admissions personnel, course tutors; and that mature students on access or foundation courses are also made aware of the availability of the bursaries and when, how and where to apply for them. These arrangements are already in place at HE institutions for students who are thinking of enrolling on a franchised or partnership course. The DfEE looks to colleges to be proactive in targeting students, for example those on access courses.

9 Annex A

How Should the Bursaries be paid? 12 The DfEE is giving flexibility so that colleges can decide how to pay the bursaries, in a way that suits the need of the college and the student. For example, they can be paid in one lump sum, or in instalments (for example, weekly, termly, quarterly) or on the basis of actual costs incurred. If the bursaries are given to meet the costs of childcare, payment can be made direct to a third party, for example, childminder or nursery.

How will the Bursaries be Treated by the DSS? 13 The department has been discussing with the DSS how these bursaries should be treated for benefits purposes. Subject to parliamentary approval, the DSS proposes to disregard in full these bursaries for mature students, as they are not intended for general living costs. The appendix to annex A sets out this guidance in a form of words which colleges can provide for students to take to their local benefits agency which explains that the payment is from the bursary fund and covers course-related costs. The DSS has indicated that this would be helpful in ensuring that students are correctly assessed.

How Should Colleges Assess Need? 14 The department has set broad criteria for the awarding of the bursaries because it believes that colleges are best placed to assess who should receive them. It also believes that it should not be necessary for colleges to carry out a detailed income assessment when deciding who should receive a bursary, since these are not intended to help meet general living costs. Colleges should, however, look at estimates of likely or actual childcare, travel or other course costs, and ability to meet these costs, in order to decide how much to award to individual students. 15 Priority in allocating the bursaries should be given to mature students who: • receive the lone parents’ grant (given that this will be replaced by the Childcare Grant in 2001-02) or receive allowances for dependent children • are on benefit, or whose partner is on benefit, or • whose partner is in receipt of Working Families Tax Credit or • who have a gross family income of about £10,000 or less. 16 College staff may also need to look at other factors, such as the student’s ability to complete the course without the bursary. As explained above, bursaries can also be given to younger students who are lone parents or who have dependent children, if colleges consider there is a need to do so and there is sufficient funding available.

Students on Franchised or Partnership Courses 17 Colleges should note that responsibility for students who attend franchised or partnership courses at further education colleges are the responsibility of the ‘parent’ HE institution, and these students will have been taken into account in the HE institution’s allocation. Guidance to HE institutions has stressed the importance of informing these students about bursaries, and ensuring that they can apply for the bursaries without difficulty and at the right time, and that their applications are

10 Annex A considered on an equal footing with students attending the HE institution. This guidance also applies to partnership arrangements where the course delivered is split between the HE institution and an FE college and the student is registered at the HE institution.

What About Other Funds for HE Students? 18 HE students in FE will also be able to apply for the specific HE access funds, which are designed to meet the tuition fees and other access needs of part-time students on benefit or low incomes, or who lose their jobs during their course, but are also open to full-time HE students for their other access needs. Furthermore, all HE students on non-franchised or non-partnership courses may also be eligible for FE access funds. Students on HE franchised or partnership courses should apply for funding from their franchisor or higher education institution. However, all home students in higher education in colleges will continue to be eligible to receive help from specific HE and general FE access funds subject to the student meeting the Terms and Conditions of Grant in Circular 00/14: Learner Support Funds 2000-01: annex A. HE students who are eligible for a student loan should have taken out the full loan before being eligible to apply for these other funds.

What Will Happen to Unspent HE Student Bursaries? 19 Money allocated specifically for bursaries is intended to be used for that purpose only, and colleges should therefore strive to spend all their allocation for the bursaries in full. Where that is not possible, however, they may use any unspent bursary allocation to help other HE students, by moving those unspent funds into the specific HE access fund.

Monitoring Information about Bursaries 20 Colleges will need to keep records of the number of bursaries, which they have committed, or spent. A form for monitoring information is included in Circular 00/14: Learner Support Funds 2000-01: annex G(AB-HE).

Hardship Loans for Mature Students 21 The secretary of state has agreed that from September 2000, mature students (that is, those aged 25 and over) need not take out hardship loans before receiving help from specific HE and general FE access funds. Younger students must apply for a hardship loan before receiving help from these funds. Mature students will still be eligible to apply for a hardship loan if they wish. Guidance about hardship loans for 2000-01 will be issued to institutions in August 2000.

Other Help for Mature Students in 2000/01 22 From September 2000, the amount of income which mature students can have disregarded when assessing their entitlement to student support is being increased from the current minimum of £820 to £7,500. This applies to existing as well as new students.

11 Annex A

23 Also, from September 2000, all students with dependent children aged 3-16 will be eligible for a means-tested grant to meet the cost of school meals paid through their LEA. Students who receive the school meals grant should not receive help from specific HE and general FE access funds to cover these costs. 24 Loans of up to £500 will be available from September 2000 for part-time students to help meet the cost of books, equipment and travel. Part-time students will continue to be eligible for help from the specific HE access fund and (subject to the guidance in the Terms and Conditions of Grant in Circular 00/14: Learner Support Funds 2000- 01: annex A), may receive essential support for living costs from the general FE access funds. Further details about the loans scheme for part-time students will be available shortly and will include guidance on how payments from the specific HE access fund or general FE access fund should be given to part time students eligible to take out a loan.
