16-19 Bursary Fund
Northfleet Technology College 16-19 Bursary Fund
Northfleet Technology College receives funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to administer the 16-19 Bursary Fund. The funding will be targeted to students who are facing a financial barrier to participation in their educational experience.
There are two different types of bursary:
Vulnerable Bursary
Young people in care, care leavers, young people in receipt of Income Support and young people who are in receipt of both Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payments and Employment Support Allowance are eligible to receive up to £1,200 per annum. Written evidence of such status must be provided to confirm eligibility.
Discretionary Bursaries
Designed to support students who are in financial need. The DfE Guidance on the use of Bursary Fund states that is intended to help with transport, books and equipment, field trips and other course-related costs, work placements and university interviews/open days at the School’s discretion. The amount of this bursary is paid at the discretion of the school, and priority is given to students who are in receipt of Free School Meals.
Students who believe they are eligible to claim a Bursary from the school should read the attached school bursary and application form policy and then forward their application to Mrs D Setters at settersd@ntc.kent.sch.uk.
If you have any further queries regarding this information then please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Setters or Miss FitzGibbon on 01474 533802 or by email at fitzgibbonh@ntc.kent.sch.uk.
