16-19 Discretionary Bursary Fund Information Academic Year 2026 – 27
The Government sets aside some money for Schools, Colleges, Training Providers and Local Authorities to allocate to young people who need financial support to stay on in further education. This is called the 16-19 Discretionary Bursary Fund. It could help with any education-related costs that may arise during the school year which are linked to a student’s A level Courses, including transport to school, extra help to buy books, stationery or equipment, or pay for educational visits relating to a student’s A level courses.
