At North Kent College we believe that finance should not be a barrier to learning. For students studying on a Further Education programme, we have a number of financial support schemes in place to support you through financial difficulties.
Student Financial Support is available for any North Kent College student to apply for. This funding is available to help eligible students with a contribution towards books, materials, kit and equipment, free college meals as well as travel to and from college.
North Kent College operates a range of Bursary schemes to assist students from low-income households with a contribution to the costs of attending college. These schemes are subject to Government funding levels, and awarded on a first come, first served basis.
Government guidance is updated regularly and may affect eligibility for funding. Any changes to the student finance guidance will be communicated with all members of the college community at the time of any change. It is your responsibility to inform the Department for Work and Pensions of successful application and receipt of funding as this funding may affect your eligibility for some state benefits.
The College reserves the right to make changes to financial support provision in response to Government guidance and other mitigating factors.
Bursary awards are tailored to the individual student and the award allocated will depend upon your course of study, where you live and how many days you are timetabled to attend college.
