Applications for the 2024/25 funding for the Education Maintenance Allowance and University Bursary schemes in Tower Hamlets are now open.
The two schemes were introduced by Tower Hamlets Council in 2022 to reduce the financial barriers associated with further education, providing students with a helping hand to pursue their next steps.
The Education Maintenance Allowance is a £600 payment (an increase from last year’s £400) to eligible students to support them with their studies for the 2024/25 academic year.
The University Bursary Award is a £1,500 payment to eligible students to support them with costs associated with their undergraduate studies, including accommodation, books and resources.
Since launching in 2022, the council has funded 2,350 grants totalling £1.82million.
This year’s grants will benefit up to 2,050 students.
Applications close on 11 November 2024 and should be submitted on the council website.
