Financial Support
16 – 19 Bursary Fund
• Funding provided by the Government to help
students continue with their education where
they might otherwise be prohibited from doing
so on financial grounds
• Can be used towards essential course-related
costs such as books, equipment, travel, field
trips, visits and other costs associated with
living and learning
• There is a limited amount of funding so priority
will be given to those students with lowest
household income
