Further Education

Further Education can be classed as any course below HNC Level (or SCQF Level 7). Students studying under HNC level are eligible to apply for costs to assist while at college. Eligibility for funding support will always be dependent on individual circumstances.

Your eligibility for funding, and for specific funds, during the academic session depends on your age at the start of your course. You can find information about the different available funds by clicking the links below:

Funding Application

If you have been offered a place on one of our courses, you will be issued an invitation by email to apply for funding. The email is sent automatically once applications are open and you have verified your place on your chosen course.

Applications for funding are open to all students who have completed their enrolment activities for a fundable course. The secure site is accessed using your college Office 365 account.
