The college has a number of bursaries available for full time students, however, they are cash limited - therefore the sooner you apply the better the chance you have of getting one. Students will normally only be eligible for up to one college bursary. Care leavers will be eligible for up to two (care leaver and one other). Applications must be made by 1 November 2021. All bursaries are subject to you meeting the college's entry requirements, rules and regulations.
