Student Support Links
Students under the age of 19 on 1 September qualify for travel assistance where the distance (by the most direct route) between home and the nearest college offering the chosen course exceeds three miles and the course is full-time involving at least 17 study hours per week.
Students continuing into Year 2 who are over 19, but were under 19 on 1 September in the previous year, will remain eligible for travel assistance.
Please note that any claim for reimbursement will be backdated only to the date the completed COL/1 form is received by the county council's Transport & Spatial Planning Unit.
Late confirmation of a place at the college will not affect this position.
