When the SCITT decides to charge the full £3,000 a minimum bursary of £300 will be provided to any student who is in receipt of full state maintenance grant of £2,700 (Figures represent the position for 2006 and will be subject to inflationary rises).

In analysing the demand for bursary support based upon household income we will initially use the national data given by the DfES. Currently this shows 30% of the student population receive full state support whilst 55% receive some support.

4.4 In addition to this, we have established a discretionary fund to alleviate proven hardship of any trainees, including our EU students, during the course and to ensure equality of access for all. We keep a contingency fund for this purpose. Access to this discretionary fund will be means tested. We also provide in-kind support such as access to laptops, video cameras and course books to support study.
Bursary support. 4.1 At this level of variable fees we are not required to provide bursary support. However we do intend to extend and enhance the access funding which we currently offer to trainees suffering financial hardship during the course. These are discretionary, means tested awards made by the SCITT Management Board in cases of financial hardship. We will set aside 8% of the variable fees funding for this purpose.
4.2 Usually some 3 – 4 trainees make use of this facility during the academic year.
