We don't believe your financial circumstances should be a barrier to you fulfilling your potential here at Petroc. That's why our Advice and Guidance Team offer help and support on a range of funding options.
I'm 16-18
Education is free for all students who are aged 16-18 (on 31 August of the year you start your course). There may be additional costs for books or travel, but don’t let money matters stop you from coming to college; if you need financial help to cover the costs of studying or travel, we may be able to help you through the Bursary Fund.
The 16-18 Bursary Fund is available to financially assist learners who are on a low income with costs incurred by attending college.
I'm 19 or over
The Adult Learner Support Fund is a bursary for students on a low income who are aged 19 or over and who are studying on a Level 1 or Level 2 course or getting a fee remission for a level 3 programme.
The government-funded Advanced Learner Loan is available to help cover the cost of tuition fees. It's available to people over 19 years old, studying courses at Levels 3 to 6.
The Advanced Learner Loan Bursary is for students on a low income who are aged 19 or over and who are receiving an Advanced Learner Loan.
There is a range of financial support available for students studying on our degree-level courses.
