Some funds have limited money – when it’s gone, it’s gone!
Make sure you:

• Apply as early as possible

• Include all requested documents (like proof of income or benefits)

Each fund has different rules. It depends on:

• Your age

• The course you're studying

• Your household income

• If you receive means-tested benefits

• Your personal situation

The funds are here to help students with low income stay in college and succeed. You might get help with:

• Travel passes

• Essential books and equipment for your course

• Meals

• Childcare (if needed)

To get support, you must live:

More than 1 mile away from the campus you’re studying at

Unfortunately, you can’t apply if:

• You are on an Apprenticeship

• You’re on a full-cost course
