Qualifying Details If you have been in full-time care for a period of 3 months or more in the past 5 years and you are in receipt of the full Maintenance Grant, then you will qualify for the Care Leavers Bursary. It's a £2,000 award in Year 1 and then subsequently £1,000 in the following years (except for the placement year).
You have to be in receipt of the full Maintenance Grant so NHS Funded and Masters students do not qualify for this award. (Top-Up students do qualify though).
You can complete the application form once you have been made an offer and this will be available to download shortly.
Bridgwater College students may apply for this support but the award is reduced to £1,700 (Year 1) and £850 (subsequent years) in recognition of the lower course fee payable at this College.
This award is applicable to the following countries: all UK
