Ways we can help you afford to study at Nescot
Choosing to study at Nescot is an investment in your future, but we know that affording tuition fees and living costs can sometimes be tricky. At Nescot we have a range of measures to help make it easier for you to afford to take a college course.
Students aged over 19 may be able to study qualifications at level 2 for FREE. If you are working but your salary is less than £23,301.50 (for courses starting after 22nd September 2022) if you live in a London Borough or £18,525 if you live outside of London or if you are claiming an out of work or means tested benefit please contact our Student Finance team who will be able to confirm if you will be eligible for your course for free.

Further Education students living in households with a take home income of less than £28,000 who would like help towards their college costs may apply to the College bursary fund.
Nescot has several hundred laptops available to loan to students each academic year. Students who hold an EHCP, have indicated they have an additional support need at enrolment or those in receipt of bursary, are eligible for long-term laptop loans from the LRC, subject to availability.
Laptops can be taken and used at home. The student (or parent/carer) will be required to sign to say they will pay for any damages, should they occur.
ALS & EHCP laptop loan forms must be countersigned by a member of the Learning Support Team. Bursary laptop loan forms must be countersigned by Student Finance. Laptops loans are recorded on the LRC system. Students will need their College ID.
