You could get a bursary to help with education-related costs if you are 16 to 19 and study with us at Brighouse Sixth Form College.  A bursary is money that you, or your education or training provider, can use to pay for things like:

• Clothing, books and other equipment for your course
• Transport and lunch on days you study or train

There are 2 types of 16-19 bursary:
