ENTITLEMENT
Travel Costs: Students are recommended to apply for any discounted travel passes they are entitled to. Where possible, a travel pass will be awarded to students once eligible. In cases whereby this cannot be possible, an alternative solution will be arranged with you once your application has been completed.
Check out our Student Travel page for more information.
Childcare Costs: Students can claim funding towards Childcare costs with costs of up to £180 Per week. This is often paid directly to your Childcare provider and requires the student to self-fund childcare costs initially until funding has been confirmed.
Additional Learning Support: Students that require ALS support in the classroom and have expenses in relation to this can claim this back through the Learner Support Fund. Please speak with department tutors for further information in relation to your classroom needs.
