Bursary

Our Student Services team is experienced in providing help, support and advice for all situations.

The team can assist with a range of topics including finance, learning difficulties, personal issues, and health and wellbeing.

They will always treat your questions or concerns with respect and confidentiality.

You can contact Student Services by emailing: studentservices@brock.ac.uk 

Bursaries and financial support

We realise that Further Education may involve some extra expense and that you may wish to reach out for additional financial support.

There are a number of ways to access help with costs, such as:

  • Ensuring your family accesses all the state support to which you are entitled.
  • Checking with your local authority to find out if they will assist with travel costs.
  • Assessing whether there is help available from charities or trust funds. Click here to find out more.
  • Applying to our College Bursary Fund (see below).

Importantly, bursaries cannot provide financial assistance for paying tuition fees.

Please see our Travel page for the most cost-effective way to reach Brockenhurst College.
