How can I get help with funding, welfare and childcare?

Here at Harrogate College we don’t want finance to be a barrier to study.  We offer a range of financial support to students to help with the costs associated with studying. You may be able to access support with travel, meals, childcare, fees and course related costs if you meet certain eligibility criteria. If you think you may be entitled to any financial support you will need to also bring the evidence needed for this to your enrolment meeting.

For full details of the support available to help you study, go to our Student Financial Support webpage.

Funds are limited so eligible students are advised to apply immediately after their enrolment. Staff will be available to support you to apply using the Student Financial Support Fund online application form which will be emailed to you. To complete the application students must show their income evidence to staff at a later date when requested, (e.g. working tax credit/child tax credit award notice, benefits letter, Universal Credits statement, home office letter/ASPEN/ARC Card).

If you require childcare support, you can apply now and can do this by downloading the childcare applications form and quote form from the Student Finance page of the student intranet.

Applications must be checked and signed by curriculum admin teams before being scanned in and submitted to childcareadvice@leedscitycollege.ac.uk. If you are 20+ and applying for childcare, you must also bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate to your enrolment meeting.

“The best thing about the T Level is the mixture of theory and practical learning. I like to learn the basics so that I can then put it all into practice when doing work experience.”

Adrian Clopot, Digital and IT T Level

“One thing I found out at the open evening was that the Art and Design course was really flexible, meaning I could focus on the styles and art mediums I wanted to.”

Reece Longdon, Level 2 and 3 Art & Design

“From a parent’s perspective, I found everyone at Harrogate College to be friendly and welcoming. There were lots of things to see and do in all the classrooms, I particularly loved the photography rooms and science labs.”
