The aim of this Bursary is to give extra support to those students making the transition to the world of work, by removing financial barriers to enable Care Leavers to live independently at a young age.

  • A relevant child – a young person who is 16-17 who has left care after their 16th birthday and before leaving care an eligible child; OR
  • A former relevant child – a young person who is aged 18-21 (up to their 25th birthday if they are in education or training), who before turning 18, was an eligible or a relevant child
