Subsidies for low income learners

A student with a personal income of less than £90.00 per week will be asked to pay a subsidy of £30.00, this includes senior citizens, old age pension recipients and old age allowance recipients that are NOT in receipt of income support top-up. Students who are not in any of the above categories will be asked to pay a subsidy of £90.00 per year although this is discounted to a single £60.00 if the subsidy is paid at the beginning of the study.

The Centre operates a LEARNER SUPPORT FUND - to help learners in financial difficulties. Please enquire at the Centre for application to the fund.
