We understand that studying can be expensive and put a strain on your finances, that is why we have a team of staff ready to advise you and tell you of the variety of funds we have to help students financially. The first thing you need to know is that if you are aged 16-18 you will not have to pay for your study, its free. If you are over 18, you still may not have to pay, or you could receive help with your fees. In addition to your fees we know there are extra costs such as books, equipment and field trips. You may be eligible to apply for the funds below.
