Finacial Support

Many courses are free for many people, 16-18 year-olds don’t pay fees on FE courses. When you come to enrol, we will talk to you about your circumstances and see if we can offer you a free course. If you do need to pay a fee, we can let you know about loans and support available.

Confused by fees or need financial support?

The Student Finance Team supports students who, for whatever reason, need financial help to complete their studies.

We can’t guarantee funding as it’s subject to what is made available from the Government, and applications will be dealt with on a first come first served basis.

Finance is a complex area, so if you have any questions or need more information please contact the Student Finance team on 0115 910 1455 or e-mail jason@ccn.ac
