Financial Support
How we can support your studies
Don’t let potential study costs put you off joining us! We are proud to provide full-time students a comprehensive financial support service to support you during your studies.
There is lots of support available at Middlesbrough College and TTE to help you fund your studies and save money while completing your qualification.
Not sure what support you can access? There are a range of funds available to support learners who need it most. So, if you think you might struggle to cover the cost of coming to college, don’t worry – we are always here to help.
Financial Support On Offer
16-18 year olds
Learners aged between 16-18 years will not be required to pay for their studies.
Bursary
Certain students may be able to claim a bursary to support with their studies. Bursaries are means tested and subject to status. They are also linked to attendance, performance & behaviour.
Free meals
If you are currently receiving free school meals at school, this will continue when you study with us at Middlesbrough College and TTE!
Additional costs
You may be able to receive help with equipment, uniform and/or kit costs & mandatory residentials depending on your personal circumstances. Certain categories of full-time students can apply for additional help from the social security system.
