If you’re studying on an eligible further education course and the following applies to you, we may be able to help you with funding towards the cost of travel to college.
Follow our four step process for applying for student finance.
The first step is to apply for your chosen course! Applications for new students to apply for financial support will open in Early August 2024.
Keep your college login details safe, as you will need to log back in when financial support applications open in August. Once you’ve logged in select the “Apply for Student Fund Support” option. Follow the on-screen questions and upload your household income evidence when prompted.

No, we still have spaces left on courses and applications are still open!
If your GCSE results aren’t what you expected, it’s important not to panic! We’re here to help so it’s important you still come to your enrolment appointment so we can discuss all your options with you (there are lots more options than you think). We have places available on a range of courses at different levels, with varying entry requirements (there is even the option to re-sit your GCSEs if you want to).
Yes! Our Level 3 vocational courses are equivalent to A Levels, many universities accept them as entry requirements, and they are worth UCAS Tariff points.
If you have a specific university or course in mind, we’d recommend you do some research to find out their entry requirements as this will help you make an informed decision on what you’d like to study.
Yes! A common misconception is that apprenticeships have an upper age limit, but this is very rarely the case! We advertise apprenticeship vacancies throughout the year and you don’t have to wait until September to get started.
Yes we do! We have a dedicated careers team who are committed to helping you figure out your future options. They’re the experts when it comes to qualifications and the most direct route to your chosen future career.
It’s never too early to start thinking about your future and the choice really is in your hands. You’ll find course information on our website, and we’ll be announcing the dates for our next series of open events soon. Keep an eye on our web page or our social media channels to be the first to know.
Yes, we do, and many students are now choosing to stay local and save money by studying with us. You can find out more on our University Centre page.
No! From apprenticeships and Access to HE courses to part-time, professional and university level courses we have options for everyone regardless of age and previous qualifications. We also offer a range of hobby courses and 1 day taster sessions too. In some cases, you can study for free!
We certainly can! We run a series of Access to Higher Education courses that are designed for those aged 19+ who want to go to university. Funding for these courses is available and if you use your course to go to university, the balance of your loan for your access course is wiped.
