The bursary is £300 a year and is paid in two instalments throughout the academic year.
To qualify for the bursary, students must live in Islington and:
- have received free school meals in year 11 or be eligible for free school meals
- have moved straight into post-16 education and training without taking a break
- be studying full time.
Your chosen school, college or education provider will have their own rules on top of these, usually based around you having a good attendance record. Speak to them for more information.
How to apply
Your school or college will let you know if you qualify for the year 12 bursary, if you:
- are studying at an Islington sixth form school or City and Islington College and
- have transferred from an Islington secondary school.
If you didn’t go to an Islington school in Year 11 and aren’t attending a further education provider in Islington, you'll need to complete the Year 12 bursary application form.
