Bursaries

Bursaries are in place to support learners who would find it difficult to attend their course because of the costs involved.

Financial support is available for learners in certain circumstances. This support is not available to Apprentices, as Apprentices are in paid employment.

Each application will be assessed and allocated funds subject to meeting minimum college requirements. Eligibility is based on factors including age (under 19), residency and household income.

There are two types of bursary:

1. Discretionary Bursaries are awarded weekly on an individual basis and are designed to be a contribution to costs rather than to cover them. To be eligible for a Discretionary Bursary, you need to have a household income below £30,000 per year. Parents/ Carers are required to supply evidence of all household income.
2. Guaranteed Bursaries are a payment of a fixed sum of up to £1,200 (this may be reduced depending on the length of your course).

We do not offer financial support for other needs, such as living costs.

Please note that an amount of bursary can be withheld if your performance levels or attendance drops. You are expected to have 100% attendance, produce high level course work and maintain high grades, as well as demonstrate excellent behaviour. 

To seek advice on any of the bursaries or funding above, or to obtain an application form, please contact our Learner Services Team on 01268 551910 or email learnerservices@creativesportleisure.co.uk.
