Guidance

• You should apply to the funds managed internally by the College when enrolling, or within the first few weeks of starting your course.
• The longer you delay your application your chances of receiving any financial support is greatly reduced, even if you are eligible.
• Applications for funding need to be made each year even if studying for a course of two years.
• Please complete the relevant funding application form and take into the Funding Team at any campus along with evidence of your household income.
• You must use an Ofsted registered childcare provider to be eligible to apply for funding towards the cost of your childcare.
