16 to 19 Bursaries
In September 2011 the Government introduced a Bursary Fund providing support to young people from less advantaged backgrounds, living in England, to meet the cost of participating in Post-16 education and training.
If you are living in care, a care leaver, receiving income support or are disabled in receipt of Employment Support Allowance and also in receipt of Disability Living Allowance you will be eligible to receive a bursary of up to £1,200 a year.
If you are eligible for free school meals or your household income is less than £28,000 you may be eligible for a bursary of up to £950.
NB: Please note that, while the information in the BOA Bursary Policy 2023-24 is mostly accurate, the payment amounts are outdated and the correct figures are outlined above, to take annual inflation and the cost of living into account.
