Further Education is important but occasionally not
readily accessible. Kent County Council understands that certain
factors can prevent young people taking further education
courses.
The Student Awards Group provides assistance to those people who
want to enrol on a college course but find they are prevented from
doing so by certain obstacles such as cost.
If you are a 16 to 19 year old aiming to study, or already
enrolled on a Further Education course you may be entitled to
various forms of assistance from either Kent County Council or your
respective educational organisation.
Home to college transport
You may be able to apply for travel assistance from Kent County
Council to help you travel to and from your local further education
college. Visit the
home to college transport page for details.
Free school meals
If you or your children are under 19 and in full-time education,
you may be able to get free school meals. Visit the
free school meals page for details.
Other assistance
If you require money for books, equipment, field trips etc.,
then you must apply direct to the college where you intend to study
and ask them what funding you could receive from their college
Learner Support Funds.
Please note: Unfortunately this Authority no
longer has any discretionary powers and is legally precluded from
assisting with any grants.

attending schools in Kent, Medway, Bexley or Bromley or have left
