Bursary for professional education students
LIBF has a bursary fund available which is intended to support students in receipt of certain benefits and with a household income of under £25,000 per annum.
Bursaries are available for initial registration fees only. They are apportioned as follows:
50% fee waiver on all regulatory and specialist qualifications
20% fee waiver on trade finance qualifications (UK students only).
Students will need to pay the full fees for any module retakes and for any additional support materials. Applications cannot be applied retrospectively and non-UK nationals must have full UK residency to be eligible.
Application process
To make an application, please complete the bursary application form for Professional Education students. If you need any further information, please phone our Student and Customer Services team +44 (0)1227 818609.
You are only permitted to register for one qualification when applying for bursary funding, which must be completed before a further application can be submitted. Where a qualification has multiple units, ie CeMAP, DipFA and DipPP, you may register for all the units at the same time.
As part of the application process, you will need to supply proof that you are currently receiving Universal Credit or one of the following benefits:
income support
housing benefit (including local housing allowance)
council tax benefit
income-based employment and support allowance
income-based Jobseeker's Allowance.
If you are receiving Income-based employment and Support Allowance or Income-based Jobseekers Allowance, your evidence must be dated within 30 days of your claim being received. For all other benefits, evidence must be dated within three months of being received.
If you are claiming working tax credits, you must also be in receipt of housing benefit or council tax benefit in order to be eligible for a bursary.
Non-UK nationals must have full UK residency in order to be eligible for a bursary.
Applications are reviewed by the Enquiries and Admissions Manager and we will let you know the outcome within 10 working days.
