Financial help


Higher Education study grant

If you are planning to study a part-time higher education course (ie Foundation Degrees, HNCs, HNDs) you may be able to apply to Student Finance England via www.direct.gov.uk for help with tuition fees and a part-time grant of £265. Call us on 01767 626222 to find out if your course qualifies for support. Funding available to individuals only.


Aged 16-18?

If you are aged 16-18 on 31st August 2011, you can study some of our courses for free. Please call 01767 626222 to find out more.


Student Support Fund

If you have a particular hardship that would otherwise prevent you from studying, our Student Support Fund* may be able to help with essential costs such as books or equipment. For more details call Student Services on 01767 626254.


* Funding is limited, so early application is strongly recommended.


Money back guarantee

If you meet all the entry requirements for your course, attend at least 90% of your lessons (or 95% for courses less than 23 weeks long), complete all your course work and/or exams on time but still do not pass your course, we will refund your fees in full. You can be 100% confident of achieving your goals with Shuttleworth College or we will return every penny.


Employer funded courses

If your employer is paying for your course you will need to provide a signed letter or purchase order from your employer and we will invoice them accordingly. This invoice is due for immediate payment. Please note you will be responsible for all charges if for whatever reason your employer does not pay the fees when requested to do so. Your employer can call Bedford College Training Services on 0300 011 2344 to speak to a Business Development Adviser.


As a further education college, we are able to access a much wider range of funding than many private training providers. We are experienced in helping businesses complete the necessary paperwork to take advantage of these incentives. Funding opportunities are continually changing, so if your employer is paying your fees call Bedford College Training Services on 0300 011 2344 to find out what funding you can access.
