BURSARY SCHEME. Our findings have shown that being in receipt of a bursary is a positive predictor of student retention; students not in receipt of a bursary are more likely to fail or withdraw from their course than those that received a bursary. The scale of this difference has varied in recent years as the bursary arrangements have altered, but the difference has been present in each case. Our findings have also shown that this effect persists even when age, gender, disability, ethnicity, postcode (POLAR3), stage number, course campus, and the type of bursary scheme according to which awards were granted are taken into consideration. Although the criteria for bursary schemes have changed over the years, household income has remained one of the criteria for an award. Therefore, we will continue to provide a bursary scheme for students from low-income households. We will provide a bursary of £1,000 per year for the first two years of study and £500 for the final year, to full-time entrants with a household income of up to £25,000 and who meet all eligibility criteria. Students undertaking a year abroad or a sandwich placement year as part of a four-year course will not be eligible for this bursary during that year. Students admitted in 2017-18 and later years to nursing, midwifery and allied health professions no longer receive NHS bursaries. These students will have access to our bursary scheme; this was not previously permissible. Continuing students admitted in 2016-17 or earlier years or who are funded by the NHS will not be eligible to access our bursary scheme.

BURSARY SCHEME. Lakes College is fully committed to widening participation and is engaged in numerous activities in this area. In order to further encourage HE participation, the College will offer a generous bursary scheme. We aim to ensure that the impact of top up fees is minimised and that all students in need of financial support benefit from the scheme. It is intended that any student in need of financial assistance will have access to bursaries. It is the intention of Lakes College to ensure that students undertaking undergraduate programmes may be eligible for financial assistance in the form of a minimum of £1000 per annum bursary payment. Such bursaries will be assessed to reflect student need and be payable to those students from homes where the principal earner’s gross salary is less than £60,000 per year. This approach will allocate support for those students most in need of assistance and will reduce the need for complex means testing. It is an approach that will be easily understood, simple to promote, and deliver equality of opportunity. This bursary scheme is additional to any financial support may be currently available to the College’s HE students.
