If you are thinking of studying a full-time Higher Education qualification at ncn then the New College Nottingham Special Support Bursary could be for you! The bursary scheme provides non-repayable financial support to students who meet certain criteria.

Bursary Scheme for New Students
The ncn Bursary scheme offers up to £750 per year, depending on household income, to new students starting in the academic year 2011/2012. To be eligible, students must be paying the full tuition fee of £2,670, be in receipt of a maintenance grant or special support grant and have a household income of £40,000 or below.
Additional support will be available to students who have progressed from a designated School (see below). This extra bursary will provide up to £250 per year depending on your household income. Students in receipt of this extra bursary will be required to undertake a widening participation activity during their year of study. You can find out about these activities by contacting the higher education team. Bursary payments will be made in three equal instalments.
