16-19 Bursary Scheme

If you are in full time education at school 6th form or at college, you may be eligible for support. The 16-19 bursary scheme is intended to help young people remain in education.
 
Each school or college has information about the scheme on their website, and will be able to tell you if you are eligible. They will be able to provide you with an application form.
 
If you are eligible for support under the bursary scheme, your school or college will ask you to sign a ‘learner agreement’. This is to confirm that you will meet their expectations for good attendance and behaviour.
 
Applications for the bursary scheme usually open in August, but you should contact your school or college for more information.
