DON’T LET
MONEY HOLD
YOU BACK
If you are interested in completing a course, but not sure how you will
fund it, then contact the Money Management Services team (MMS).
The team are available to help you:
• Explore a number of Government schemes that could
 pay part or all of your course, exam and material fees.
• Apply for an Advanced Learner Loan if you are studying
 at level 3 or above.
• Apply for a bursary to support you with College costs,
 (if your family income is £25,000 a year or less coming into
 the household).
Government Schemes*
If you are aged 19 plus and the course you are applying appears
on a fundable Legal Entitlement or Waiver list, then as long as the
eligibility requirements are met, you may be able to fund your course
with a Legal Entitlement or a Waiver. For example:
• If you are 19-23, have not previously achieved a Full Level 2
 or 3, then you might be eligible to fund your first Full Level
 2/3 through a Legal Entitlement.
• If you are 24 plus, studying on a course up to level 2:
 - Are unemployed and in receipt of certain benefits, then
 you might be able to obtain a Benefit Waiver, or
 - Are employed either full or part-time, or are self-employed
 and earn less than £16,009.50 per year, then you might be
 eligible for a Low Income Waiver.
• If you are 19-23, studying on a course up to level 2 and
 already have a Full Level 2:
 - Are unemployed and in receipt of certain benefits, then
 you might be able to obtain a Benefit Waiver, or
 - Are employed either full or part-time, or are self-employed
 and earn less than £16,009.50 per year, then you might be
 eligible for a Low Income Waiver.
To check the course you wish to study is eligible for any Government
funding, please contact mms@sgscol.ac.uk and make sure you
include your name, age and the course code, (which is available
in the prospectus).
For more information on the different types of funding,
please visit www.sgscol.ac.uk/mms.
*To be eligible for these Government Schemes you will need to
complete an application form and provide evidence of eligibility.
