HOW CAN I APPLY FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT?<br />
Once you have enrolled on your course, you will be able to apply for the bursary. You will need<br />
to complete an application form, available from our Welfare Team. You will also need to provide<br />
evidence of any benefits you or your family receive and proof of household income.<br />
Please note that payments will only be made into the student’s bank account. Assessments will be<br />
made on a first come, first served basis.<br />
