16- 19 BURSARY FUND

The 16-19 Bursary Fund targets support towards the most financially disadvantaged 16 to 19-year olds - those who most need help with the costs of staying on at school.

Buxton Community School will determine the eligibility criteria for discretionary bursaries, and the frequency of and conditions for payments for all awards. The 16-19 Bursary will only be awarded to a student that is eligible and facing genuine financial barriers to participating.
