Young people who require financial support to help them continue in education Post-16 can apply to their school for the 16-19 Bursary Fund. The Howard 6th Form has been allocated a very modest amount of money to distribute to students in genuine need of financial assistance.
If your son or daughter successfully applied for this funding, they will need to submit a new application for the coming academic year.
In addition, The Howard Sixth Form would like to invite Year 11 students who start Year 12 in September, who believe they are eligible for the financial assistance, to apply. The application can be downloaded using the following link:
Eligibility
The following students are eligible for the 16-19 Bursary Fund.
