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 are in receipt of Income Support (or Universal Credit); c. you are disabled and in receipt of Employment Support Allowance (or Universal Credit) and either Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment. 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 should be 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 2017/18 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 and must be funded be either the Education Funding Agency, the European Social Fund or otherwise publicly funded and lead to a qualification accredited by Ofqual or is pursuant to Section 98 of the learning and Skills Act 2000. Further information about the 16-19 Bursary Fund is available on the Department for Education website and the Directgov website.
