Important information about student financial support – SPRING TERM

Posted in Announcements on the .

Dear Student

Due to current coronavirus pandemic, the College is making some changes to the way in which student financial support is received, including relaxing some of the criteria around accessing financial support.

For the remainder of the spring term, the following will apply:

  • Students in receipt of a Progress Bursary (£30 per week) will continue to receive this payment for the remainder of the term.
  • Students in receipt of a College Bursary (£15 per week), who have regularly qualified for payments (5 or more payments since 6th January 2020) will continue to receive this payment for the remainder of the term.
  • Students in receipt of free meals, who have regularly been accessing the free meals provision in College canteens (20 or more meals taken since 6th January 2020), will receive a substitute payment of £10 a week, directly into their bank account, for the remainder of the term. Where we have not been provided with bank details, students will be able to collect a £10 voucher from the Learning Exchange each week. The vouchers will be available on a Monday or Tuesday, between the hours of 8.30am and 4.30pm, during this period.
  • Students in receipt of free meals, who are Asylum Seekers, and have regularly been accessing the free meals provision in College canteens (20 or more meals taken since 6th January 2020), will be able to collect a £10 voucher from the Learning Exchange each week. The vouchers will be available on a Monday or Tuesday, between the hours of 8.30am and 4.30pm, during this period.

 

We will write directly to students who meet the relaxed criteria for student financial support, at their College email address. This information will also be available to students by logging into their PayMyStudent account.

Please note that where you are required to collect a voucher from the Learning Exchange, you MUST have your College photographic ID in order to collect these.
