Discretionary Learner Support Fund

Students can apply to the College’s Learner Support Fund for help with Childcare, Travel Costs, Levy Fees, Essential Equipment and Books.

You may be eligible if you are not in receipt of EMA or ALG and your yearly household income, including all wages, benefits and tax credits is below £20,817.

If you are applying for less than £500 in support you will need to complete a dLSF application form and supply evidence of household income in the form of 3 month’s bank statements.

If you are applying for support over £500 you will need to supply further evidence of household income, including proof of all benefits received and/or wages earned. Evidence of Tax Credits, Housing Benefit and any other sources of income will also need to be shown.
