--- title: "16 to 19 Bursary Fund" url: "https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/16-19-bursary-fund" school: "Seaton Valley Federation" --- # 16 to 19 Bursary Fund ### 16 to 19 Bursary Fund 16 to 19 Bursary Fund Policy 342 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/files/documents/16_to_19_Bursary_Fund_Policy_SVHS_v6.0_(August_2026).pdf) Bursaries are available to give financial support to eligible 16-19 year olds who meet the criteria set out in our 16 to 19 Bursary Fund Policy. The purpose of the bursary is to help students to meet the costs of continuing in full-time education, such as transport, books and equipment, trips and other course-related costs and may also be used towards the costs of attending university interviews and open days. We also provide credit on our cashless catering system to help meet the costs of lunches and refreshments. We inform all students about the bursary and those who are eligible usually apply in September, however applications are considered at any time in the school year if the student’s circumstances change. A student who meets the vulnerable bursary criteria (because they are in one or more of the defined vulnerable groups) does not automatically qualify for funding, as we may determine that they do not have any actual financial need and so are not eligible on that basis e.g. their financial needs are already met and/or they have no relevant costs. The school also has a small Hardship Fund for students who do not meet the above criteria but who experience particular financial difficulties during their period of study. This may provide one-off funds in exceptional circumstances so please speak to Mr Ironside, Assistant Headteacher to discuss any issues you need help with. ### Sixth Form - [Apply for our Sixth Form](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/discover-our-sixth-form) - [About Sixth Form](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/about-sixth-form) - [What Can You Expect?](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/what-can-you-expect) - [Curriculum Pathways](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/curriculum) - [Sixth Form Enrichment and Personal Development](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/enrichment) - [Careers and Destinations](https://www.svf.org.uk/careers-and-destinations) - [16 to 19 Bursary Fund](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/16-19-bursary-fund) - [Sixth Form Centre](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/sixth-form-centre) - [Exam and Assessment Information](https://www.svf.org.uk/sixth-form/exam-information) ![Seaton Valley Federation](https://files.schudio.com/seaton-valley-federation/images/logo/SeatonValley_Logo(2).png) #### Seaton Valley Federation Prospect Avenue Seaton Delaval Northumberland NE25 0FW 0191 2371505 #### Useful Links: - [News](https://www.svf.org.uk/news) - [Contact Us](https://www.svf.org.uk/contact-us) - [Events](https://www.svf.org.uk/events) - [Vacancies](https://www.svf.org.uk/job-vacancies) #### More Links: - [Calendar](https://www.svf.org.uk/calendar) - [School Email](https://sites.google.com/achs.svf.org.uk/launchpad-selection) - [My Child at School](https://www.svf.org.uk/my-child-at-school) - [Term Dates](https://www.svf.org.uk/term-dates) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Seaton-Valley-Federation-of-Schools-103527542434937) - [X](https://twitter.com/@seatonvalleyfed) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/seatonvalleyfed) © Copyright 2018–2026 Seaton Valley Federation School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.svf.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
