Student Bursary Fund

College will provide an income-assessed Bursary for students whose Parents/Carers household income is below £28,000 (this amount is excluding any benefits).

We will consider any applications with household income from £28,000 up to £30,000 if funding allows, and providing an application has been made in full, before the deadline date of the 30^th September.

Your application will be means tested and there are four main types of income evidence, and you will need to provide evidence of the following:-

• Final Tax Credit Award Notice (TC602): this is a document detailing entitlement to Working Tax Credits or Child Tax Credits. The income figure required is shown as ‘Total Income for the year from 6th April to 5th April for the current financial year. The Final Tax Credit Award Notice must be dated from April of the current year.
• P60: this is a statement of earnings from an employer and the income will be shown as either; total pay for year, total income received or gross Income. This must be dated this current year and will relate to the previous year’s earnings.
• Other Benefits: entitlement or award letter showing evidence of any benefits received, including Universal Credit monthly statements as requested in the application.
• Self-assessment tax calculation form (SA302): this form is sent by the Inland Revenue to self-employed people and is the equivalent of the P60. The income will be shown under ‘Total Income’ for the most recent year end.
