Applying for funding

To apply for your Further Education Bursary, EMA, Childcare or Discretionary Hardship Funds, you must have first:

• Accepted your unconditional offer of a place on the course
• Received an email with your login and password

 

You can also read our guide for help with How to apply for your funding.

Once you have completed your application to the college for funding you will be able to track its progress through your online student hub account and access any letters about your award. Your student hub account will be your central point for your college life, offering you many services and tools including funding. If an award has been made, then the award letter will tell you how much you have been awarded and when the payments will be made. You will have a separate letter for each fund. EMA and Bursary payments are made fortnightly in arrears, while Childcare and Discretionary payments are made monthly in arrears. Please note EMA, travel and childcare payments are NOT paid for college holidays.

Please be aware that to receive any kind of funding you will be required to submit documentary evidence to support your application and that it can take up to 4 weeks from the date of receipt of the final piece of documentary evidence requested to process your application, therefore you should make allowances for this when you begin your course.
