Am I eligible for Travel Costs Funding?
We can provide Travel Costs Funding to any students on a full-time Further Education (FE – SCQF Level 1-6) course who don’t already receive, or are eligible to receive, government-funded travel funding, e.g., NEC bus pass, the mobility element of disability funding, etc. Travel Costs Funding is assessed against your household income.
