FINANCIAL AID POLICY

 

The College does not receive any financial assistance from government - all bursaries and scholarships are raised by the College.

 

1.       The primary task of the Bursary Office is to allocate financial assistance from available resources to students who, without such assistance, would be unable to attend the College.

 

2.       Students may be assisted by a bursary allocation in the form of a Campus Employment position, where the student’s account can be credited with a maximum of 40 hours of work per month.

 

3.       Bursaries are allocated in November for the following year.

 

4.       The responsibility for financing studies rests with the student.

 

5.       Financial Aid does not cover all tuition fees.

 

6.       Allocations are made on the basis of: seniority; church support and academic progress.

 

7.       All students receiving Financial Aid are expected to donate time in service to the College.

 

8.       A means test will be used to assess the neediness of the student

 

9.       New applications need to be made annually so as to reflect changes in financial; marital or academic status.

 

10.    Failure to disclose information that may influence the awarding of a bursary could result in cancellation of bursary funds awarded.

 

11.    Monies awarded will be credited to the student’s account bi-annually at the start of the second and fourth terms.

 

12.    Students taking less than 80% of the full module load will not be considered for Financial Aid.

 

13.    Financial Aid will only be awarded for the minimum length of the programme. Module failures as well as additional modules taken will not be covered by Financial Aid.
