This bursary fund is made available from the government through the Department for Education – to provide assistance to students whose access to, or completion of, education is inhibited by financial constraints or barriers. Students will be funded to reflect the amount of support they need to participate based on an assessment of the actual participation needs and costs they have, subject to the total number of applicants. Funding is limited.
