Funding Your Part Time Education
Fees
Students studying part-time courses will be expected to pay tuition fees and any other subsequent fees, for example examination fees.
However, part time students who can show that they are receiving a means tested benefit can apply for their fees to be waived.
Fee waiver forms are available from Student Services.
If your company is paying your course fees, then you should arrange for your company / sponsoring organisation to send written authorisation to the College. We will only send an invoice once authorisation has been received.
Travelling Expenses
Part-time students on FE courses who are in receipt of a means-tested benefit are eligible to claim travelling expenses. However, funding is limited and will be on a “first come first served” basis. Forms are available from the College’s Finance Office.
Hardship Fund
Students may apply to the college for support in covering travel costs and course expenses. Forms and advice available from Student Services.
Childcare Support
The College offers assistance with the cost of childcare.
This allows students, who may have been unable to attend College due to the costs of childcare, to receive help towards the cost of after school care, a registered childminder or registered nursery school.
To be eligible, you must be enrolled on one of the College’s part-time courses and require to secure registered childcare facilities. Priority is given to lone (single) parents.
Further details regarding the College’s Childcare Support Scheme are available from the Student Services on 01698 232367.
