Check your funding

Cost should not decide your future

You should not have to understand the funding system to use it. Answer a few plain questions and we will show you the streams that could pay for your training, from fully funded courses to a loan you only repay once you are earning.

Nothing here is a decision. It is a guide to what you may be eligible for, with the next step and the official source for each one.

A few plain questions

Tell us where you are

What is your situation right now?
Are you claiming Universal Credit, JSA or ESA?
Roughly, what do you earn a year?

This helps find courses that are fully funded for lower incomes.

How old are you?
Do you have a disability, health condition or are you neurodivergent?

Self declared. It can unlock extra support.

Have you ever been in care?

Care leavers can get extra bursary support.

What is the highest qualification you hold?
What level of course are you looking at?

If you are not sure, leave the Level 5 example selected.

Optional. Helps us find local support.

Optional. For example finance or construction.

This is a guide, not a decision. Your eligibility is confirmed by the funder, which is the college, your Jobcentre work coach, or the Student Loans Company. We can help you take the next step.

Tell us your situation to see your routes. Everything else helps us match you better.

Optional, and only if you want to
