Help with Financing Your Studies

All new eligible students who are not eligible for an Adult Education Bursary should apply via Student Finance England for financial assistance with their tuition fees and maintenance. This service is for both full time and part time students. To find out more about the help available through Student Finance England click here or ring 0845 300 5090. 

Full time students should make their application for financial assistance as soon as they receive their offer letter. Full time students will not be allowed to enrol unless they can provide evidence to show how their tuition fees and (if applicable) residence and catering fees will be paid for.  

Part time students will be able to download the part time tuition fee application form (PTG1) from the Student Finance England website from August 2011. You will need to bring the completed PTG1 form with you to enrolment day and hand it to the Academic Registrar.  

Extra help is available for students with a disability, mental health condition or specific learning difficulty, and for students with children or adult dependants via Student Finance England.  

Local Education Authority Funding (LEA) 

You should only make an application for financial assistance through your local education authority if you are a continuing student.
