The financial support discussed here are for students:
  • Who have decided to continue education at 16
  • Help is available for those aged 18 from the career development loans
  • Funds from the Career development loans may be available to fund up to 12 months work experience or to assist approx two years of vocational training or education
  • Help is available for those who would like to study away from home
  • Child care support those in education under the age of 20
  • There is also help for those wishing to attend university and higher education


  • Note: Be aware that financial assistance will depend on your personal circumstances.
