Bursary Funds & Oyster Cards
Oyster Cards
The 16+ Zip Oyster photo card enables full-time students aged 16-18 who live in a London Borough to travel free on buses and trams. The 18+ Student Oyster card is for students who are 19 and over at the start of the academic year and enroled on a full time course. You can save 30% off the price of adult rate travel cards, bus and tram passes.
Bursary Funds
Students aged 16–19 who are in care, care leavers, or receiving Income Support/Universal Credit in their own name, or both ESA and DLA or PIP in their own name, are eligible for a bursary of up to £1,200 to support them during their studies.
Additionally, students eligible for free school meals, those from low-income households, or young carers may also be able to access financial support through the College’s Discretionary Bursary Fund.
