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.
