YOUR BURSARY

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HOW TO APPLY FOR A BURSARY

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

While your programme is fully funded, you should plan for additional costs such as textbooks and travel to class. There may also be an initial cost for purchasing a training kit, with further details provided upon acceptance onto your programme.

To support learners, we offer a 16–19* bursary fund for those from households with income at or below the designated threshold.

Learners can apply for a bursary once they have enrolled onto their SCL College programme.

If approved, the bursary can help cover travel, meals, IT support, training kit, and learning resources. You may also be eligible for free meals. These initiatives are designed to remove financial barriers and ensure you can fully participate and thrive in your education. Full details will be shared during the enrolment process.

*Support for learners 19+ with an EHCP in place.

Are you eligible?

HOW TO APPLY

Once you have accepted your welcome offer, or offer to return, you will receive an email with details of your SCL email address (and it's password). If you struggle to login, speak to your teacher who can support you

You will be able to access your bursary portal either through your ProPortal account, or directly from the Pay My Student website using your SCL email address and password.

Once you're logged in, make sure you select the '2026-27' year to submit your application. From there, you can complete and submit your bursary application (remember to sign the declaration form at the end to submit your application)

You will need to upload scanned copies of the evidence so take pictures of all the letters or benefit statements so its easier to upload to your Pay My Student account.

Once you have completed the online questions, you’ll need to provide evidence of the financial situation of your whole household, so that’s everyone you live with. You’ll need to upload income statements or benefit letters.

Once you have completed everything and uploaded your evidence submit your application.

We can only review your bursary application once your enrolment form is signed, so please ensure you prioritise signing off your enrolment form as soon as possible to avoid delays

At the top of your Pay My Student account page, the status bar will show where in the process your application is. Keep checking back for any updates.

If the bursary team need any further information from you, they will email you at the address you provided when registering. You will also find copies of any correspondence at the bottom of your account page.

Since bursaries are given out on a first-come, first-served basis, it’s important to apply as soon as possible.
