Bursary scheme 2017/2018

What is the bursary scheme?

The scheme helps students aged 16-19 - who are in greatest need - meet the costs of post-16 education and training.

Eligibilty

If you start Year 12, 13 or 14 at a North Tyneside school in September, you could be eligible.

You will qualify for up to £1,200 per year in funding if you are:

  • in care
  • a care leaver
  • a student in receipt of income support
  • a student with learning difficulties or disabilities in receipt of both Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance

Discretionary Bursary amount varies depending on individual circumstances

Typically, for access to a Discretionary Bursary, we would ask for some evidence of need, which can include the examples below:

  • eligible for Free School Meals
  • a family in receipt of Working Tax Credit
  • families with low household income

You might also qualify for free school meals.
