16–19 Bursary Fund
16–19 Bursary Fund
The 16–19 Bursary Fund is financial support from the government to help students stay in education after Year 11. It’s designed for young people aged 16 to 19 who might struggle with the costs of full-time education, such as travel, meals, books, or essential course equipment.
There are two types of bursaries available:
- Vulnerable Bursary: for students in care, care leavers, or those receiving certain benefits.
- Discretionary Bursary: for students facing financial hardship, based on household income and individual circumstances.
If your child is eligible, the bursary can help cover practical learning costs so they can focus on their studies.
