At Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form we offer the 16-19 Bursary for our students that might be facing financial hardship. We know that the cost-of-living crisis has been a real struggle for some of our students, so we encourage them to come to us for guidance and support.

We have a weekly bursary for:

• A young person in care 
• A care leaver 
• A young person in receipt of income support or Universal Credit in your own name
• A disabled young person in receipt of both Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payments 

Also, a termly bursary for 

• Employment and Support Allowance; 
• Income Support; 
• Income-based jobseekers Allowance; 
• Child Tax credit (not working tax credits) 
• Support under Part 6 of the Immigration Asylum Act 1999; 
• Pension Credit Guarantee, and be in receipt of Child Tax Credit above the basic family element 

What other things can the bursary help with?
