Applications can take up to 4+ weeks to be processed due to the volume we recieve, particularly during August- November. You can check the status of your application by logging in. We will also send emails if we require more information and with your outcome, so please keep an eye out for this. If you require support with meals and travel whilst waiting for an outcome, please visit reception. We assess applications in order of last submission date - Please do not resubmit your application unless you need to change something or have been asked for more information. Resubmitting your application will delay your outcome.
Please ensure you read the guidance on our website. Learners on HE courses and Apprentices are unable to apply for this support.

Pre-application tip for 16-18 year old learners who are in care / care leavers or are living independently: The first page of the application will ask for parent/carer details - Please put N/A in all of the boxes and the same again when it asks for a signature at the end.
