Sixth form students
The Learner Support Fund is to assist students in school sixth forms whose ability to access or complete their course is inhibited by financial constraints or barriers.
Students aged 16 - 19
Students aged 16-19 can apply for a weekly Education Maintenance Allowance of up to £30 per week if they attend a full-time course in a further education college, sixth form college, or school sixth form.
Allowances are means-tested (household income up to £30,810 per year), and weekly payments depend on full attendance.
You may get a bonus if you stay on the course and make good progress.
