As a further education student you may be able to claim additional funding from the Learner Support Fund. If your household income is below £20,817, you may be eligible. The fund is there to help contribute towards the costs of attending college, such as travel, specialised equipment and childcare. If you require childcare funding you must check your eligibility first at any reception before you arrange your child’s nursery place.
All funding is subject to the availability of funds and relevant eligibility rules. To find out more, call 0115 9 100 100.
See the Discretionary Learner Support Fund Policy for more information.
