Each year the college distributes government money provided to assist students who may be experiencing financial hardship. Support is allocated on the basis of household income and can be used by students for their transport costs. If a student’s application is accepted, the college will provide all subject related items for them.

If you wish to make an application for assistance, the details below will help you determine if you are eligible, provide you with guidance to assist you in completing the application, and provides guidance on what benefit documents we require.
