Funding grants and bursaries for adult learners
Adult learners can apply for grants and bursaries to help pay for courses and training. Usually, you don’t have to pay this money back.
For most grants and bursaries you apply directly to the organisation that gives them out. They’ll have an application form and will be able to tell you if you qualify.
If you’re a parent, you might also be able to get help with childcare costs while you study
Education grants
Family Action provides information about education grants and has a grant search
Advanced learner loan
You can apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to help with the costs of a course at a college or training provider in England. Loan eligibility doesn’t depend on your income and there are no credit checks. Find out more and check if you’re eligible.
