APPLICATION FOR TRANSPORT – LOW INCOME FAMILIES

POST-16 STUDENTS (SCHOOL OR COLLEGE)

Post-16 students from ‘low income’ families can apply for free discretionary transport through the Student Support Fund if they fulfil the eligibility criteria and their parents/carers can provide evidence that they are in receipt of one of the benefits (as listed on the Post-16 Transport Low Income Families Criteria sheet).  Evidence should be relevant to the current financial year, 2026/2027.  If you consider yourself eligible for free transport on ‘low income’ grounds and have been offered a place on a full-time course (a minimum of 17 hours per week attendance) please complete the details below as appropriate.  Before doing so you are advised to read the Post-16 Transport Policy Statement 2026/2027 which can be downloaded from the website (contact details are at the bottom of this form) or requested by contacting us on 0300 303 1591 Option 2.
