Financial Support Guidelines:

Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form is committed to helping students overcome financial barriers to successful participation and completion of their studies. The Sixth Form receives government grants each academic year specifically to provide financial support to students. When enrolling on a course at Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form, consideration should be given to the costs involved such as travel costs, meals, equipment, books, trips, stationery and childcare. To ensure that finance is not a barrier to learning, funding is available to support students from a low-income household. To be eligible for Financial Support, you will need to demonstrate that your annual household income is ordinarily below £27,000. Also, that you have lived in the UK or the EEA for the past three years. Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form is committed to providing support where it is available, and we would actively encourage students to apply for possible support as soon as they can. Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form administers these funds at its discretion and in line with its policy and procedure. There is no entitlement to a Bursary. Awards are only ever a contribution to course related compulsory costs and will not necessarily cover all your additional financial needs. Each application will be assessed and if funds are available, an award will be allocated subject to meeting the Sixth Form’s eligibility criteria. There are different funds available to help different groups of students and the rules for each are different. Therefore, please be aware that each award is individual to your circumstances and may be different to others. As funds are limited, it may be necessary to close a bursary at any point during the academic year.
