Financial Support and Advice
We know paying for a degree course can seem daunting, but most students don’t have to pay anything until they can afford to.
The government offers student loans to cover your fees and living costs and you will only have to pay them back in small instalments when your future salary is over £2,143 per month.
In addition, the CCG offers financial support in the form of bursaries for eligible students.
When applying for student finance on the SFE website, you will need to look for your course under the Chichester College Group to find your relevant course and location.
Tuition fee loan – If you apply for a tuition fee loan, the government will pay your fees directly to the college for you.
Maintenance loan – If you apply for a maintenance loan, you can receive money each term towards your rent, food and other living costs. The amount will depend on whether your parents, carers or household can afford to contribute.
Childcare support – The government also offers childcare support.
Disability support - The Disabled Student's Allowance (DSA) is available, if applicable.
Who can apply? – UK students. Students must be aged 18 or over and be studying for their first higher education qualification (eg BA, FdA, BSc, FdEng, HND, HNC or PGCE). Part-time students can also apply, providing their course is at least 25% intensity of an equivalent full-time course.
CCG Bursaries
Low household income - If you have a household income of under £25,000 and are in receipt of a full maintenance loan, you may be entitled to a bursary. Payments are linked to attendance. We will contact students who may be eligible to apply by the end of the first term of the current academic year.
