Student Bursary Fund
If your household income is less than £30,000 you will be eligible for assistance. Student’s own income from part time employment should not be included. The 16 – 19 Bursary Fund is government money, administered by the college, and is available to students from lower income households to assist with costs associated with their course, for instance trips, university visits, materials and equipment. These items must be an essential part of your studies, not supplied by the college. Assistance with the cost of public transport to and from college is also available.
How Bursary Works
Complete the Bursary application form online – this can be found on our website’s Sixth Form Information tab. The finance office will then ask that you provide proof of income. If your application is approved, you will be able to apply for assistance towards the cost of academic resources, transport, college trips or university visits.
Receipts and a voucher need to be passed to the Head or Deputy Head of Sixth Form to be submitted for a claim. Mrs Williamson, in the Study Room, can help with a voucher and a parent needs to sign the voucher to confirm who should be reimbursed. If the expenditure is for a trip or visit, the amount you are required to pay will be reduced.
If you have any questions, please call Mrs Williamson on 01425 652039 - option 2 or email: sixthform@burgate.hants.sch.uk
