At CLF Post 16, we endeavour to support your journey through education and onto the next step. Part of that support includes guidance finance and help with expenses.
Bursary
CLF Post 16 runs a discretionary bursary scheme to support students with a low socio-economic background. There are various stages of income available that provide students with a monthly sum, which is paid directly into their bank accounts.
In addition to this monthly Bursary Support Scheme, we also offer a Financial Application Scheme, open to all students. This scheme requires students to apply for educational materials and resources to support their learning. A panel decides on the proportion of support awarded using a sliding scale, where anything from 25% to 75% of the full cost to the student may be reimbursed. These payments are considered for ‘one-off’ or ‘isolated needs’ and may be awarded for things like school trips, revision or coursework books, specialist equipment/clothing etc. required for presentations, interviews etc.
Travel
We recognise that some students travel considerable distance to access their studies with CLF Post 16 and we therefore reimburse a percentage of travel costs through our bursary scheme (fuel if driving or bus/ train tickets for public transport). If you purchase tickets, please hold on to the tickets for reimbursement. We would encourage you where possible to purchase a weekly or monthly ticket. Visit the First Bus website for ticket prices.
Exam Fees
In the first instance, CLF Post 16 will pay for all of the exam fees for courses. Where a student requests to re-sit a module, we will consider the cost of this on a case-by-case basis.
We are only funded to support students from the age of 16-19 years old.
Additional Costs
Students may be expected to buy their own books as part of their courses at some centres. There will be opportunities offered to Post 16 students, such as trips and events during enrichment which may incur some small cost. The CLF P16 operates a bursary support programme that assesses requests for reimbursement for educational costs on a case-by-case basis
