The 16-19 Bursary Fund is a scheme set up by the government to help the most vulnerable young people aged 16-19 continue in full time education. Its purpose is to provide financial support to help students overcome specific financial barriers to participation, so that they can remain in education.
The Bursary can help by purchasing course textbooks and equipment, as well as covering costs of subject specific trips which are a necessary part of the study course. In exceptional circumstances, the Bursary can also help with university open day costs and entrance exam fees.
