Financial Support depends on your attendance and behaviour, which will be monitored throughout the year. If your attendance falls below the college minimum standard, then your support may be stopped and reviewed with involvement from your tutor and/or progress coach, and any agreed funds may alter and reflect your attendance/behaviour.

Support offered is entirely at the college’s discretion, and completing the financial support application does not guarantee support.

Support offered is dependent upon on remaining funds.

If you have any placement days as part of your course and you need support for those days, please complete a “Placement Days Form” (on the College Financial Support web page or from the Financial Support Office) and submit it to

Support for additional days (e.g. placement or additional classes) can only be awarded by the Financial Support Team.

Failure to attend or complete your programme of study may mean you have to repay a proportion of support received, for kits etc.

If you previously received support but withdrew from your Kirklees College course, you may not be offered further support if you are now on a new course.

If your financial circumstances change, we will take this into consideration and reassess in relation to your financial support application. However, we may not always be able to reassess your travel award to accommodate a geographical location change unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Payments are made into bank accounts, it is the students’ responsibility to provide details of a valid bank account in their name for funds to be paid.

If you have applied for an Advanced Learner Loan through Student Finance England (SFE), we can only provide support once your Advance Learner Loan has been approved.

You agree to use the funds for the purpose for which they have been awarded.
