General Discussion

Exeter College have got a bursary fund which might be of help for those on low incomes with teenagers studying at the college. I am sure other 16-18 year old education providers (eg Bicton College and VIth form colleges?) may have similar schemes so worth contacting them for info.

Some info on the Exeter College fund.

The student must be enrolled on a further education course at Exeter College and be aged 16-18.

The student or the the student's family are receiving one of the following: Working Tax Credit, Income Support, Income Based Job Seekers' Allowance, Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit, New Deal for Lone Parents and is on a low enough income to qualify. This is presently £21,000.
