Financial support when in education or training

You may be able to get additional financial support for university if you are a parent, have a disability or meet other criteria.

Many Universities will have additional bursaries and grants available for care leavers to support them in their studies.

Check University websites or ask your life beyond care personal advisor for further information.

Make sure you get help from your university or college, worker, or carer to claim everything you are entitled to.

This additional financial support does not need to be repaid.
