Part-time bursaries for maintenance allowance are not available, however, some courses that run on a part-time basis through the day may attract assistance through the Bursary Fund for study expenses and those students, if eligible, may then apply for assistance with travel, accommodation and childcare costs.
Students enrolled on these courses will be sent an invitation to apply for funding and should do so following the clear instructions set out on the email.
Are you a student between the age of 16 and 19 years and studying on a part-time basis?
If so, the Scottish Government has announced changes to the Educational Maintenance Programme effective from the 1 January 2016 which may affect you. If you are and you are studying on a course that leads to a recognised qualification, meets the needs of the employer or the course is a formal access course then you may be able to apply for the Educational Maintenance Allowance. If your household income is below either £24,421 where there is only one dependent child or £26,884 where there a more than one dependent child then contact the Student Funding Department of WCS and staff will be able to advise if you are eligible.
The rates for EMA Household Income are based on academic year 2017-18 as academic year rates for 2018-19 have yet to be set by the Scottish Government and these will be updated accordingly once issued
