Following a travel support assessment, if transport is deemed as the only suitable option, a financial contribution is payable. Payment can be made by instalments from October to June. The fixed learner contribution will be reduced by 50% for students who would have qualified for free school meals, or whose parent/carer are on low-income and can provide evidence of a means tested benefit. Families are encouraged to contact the school/college directly and request assistant from them in relation to the 16-19 bursary fund.
