Student Support

Money matters - What financial help can I get?

Financial Support

Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)

If you’re aged 16-18, living in England or Wales and studying full time in college, you could get paid up to £30* a week just for coming to college. On top of this, if you attend all your classes and keep up-to-date with your work and exams/assessments, you may receive extra bonus payments.Payments will be made to students, if their household income is £32,400* or less per year. Contact Student Services on 01244 834511 or email enquiries@deeside.ac.uk for an application pack. *figures for 2010/2011.

Student Support Fund

Need help with the costs of uniforms, equipment, trips or childcare? The Student Support Fund is designed to support those who may struggle to complete a course without financial assistance. This fund covers the additional costs, after enrolment, that a student may incur such as specific equipment (eg uniforms, catering knives, essential beauty therapy oils, paints etc), which form part of their course, or childcare costs. Further information is available from our Student Services team. Please note that as the Student Support Funds are limited, we regret that it may not be possible to help every student who applies.

Assembly Learning Grant (ALG)

If you’re 18+ and living in Wales, you can apply for an Assembly Learning Grant (ALG). Assembly Learning Grants are funded by the National Assembly for Wales and provide extra money for students who might otherwise experience financial difficulty while studying. ALGs are means tested and if your family’s residual income is less than £18,060* a year, you may receive between £450* and £1,500* for the year.
* figures for 2010/2011.
