What is the 19+ Advanced Learner Loan Bursary and how can it help me?
The 19+ Advanced Learner Loan Bursary (19+ ALLB) is designed to support students from lower income households who have been approved for a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan. The Advanced Learner Loan Bursary may be able to provide additional financial support with the cost of uniform, equipment, transport and professional membership fees, and/or childcare.
The 19+ ALLB is awarded on a discretionary basis and due to its limited nature, meeting the criteria does not necessarily guarantee an award. The bursary fund is means tested and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
If a learner is receiving any state benefits it is their responsibility to inform the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) about any learner support they receive from the college, because DWP may decide the learner support payment may impact those benefits.
What are the limitations of the 19+ ALLB?
The bursary fund cannot be used to help with, counselling, mentoring, extra tuition or support such as servicing laptops/tablets, extra-curricular activities and registration fees.
Am I eligible for the bursary?
Students must have been approved for a 19+ Advanced Learning Loan before applying for the 19+ ALLB.
Students need to have a household income of less than £35,000 to be eligible. Income of any spouse or co-habiting partner will be taken into consideration.
