Scholarships

If you are thinking of applying for a full-time course, but are worried about costs, you could be eligible for a scholarship.   Warwickshire College is part of the National Scholarship Programme, offering scholarships of £3,000 in value to selected eligible students who are in receipt of the full maintenance grant, including care leavers.

_{Withdrawals - if you leave your full-time HE course early, you still have to repay any student loan already paid to the college and may be asked to repay grants and other benefits accessed for your studies in line with the Student Loans Company (SLC) fee policy. Please contact the SLC for full details.}

Part-time courses

Fees for part-time study are usually based on the full-time fees for a similar course, less £500, divided pro rata.

For example, if it costs £6,660 for a full-time Foundation degree consisting of six modules per year, then a student taking four modules per year might then pay two thirds of £6,160 giving a fee of around £4,107.

Part-time students can get tuition fee loans in the same way as full-time students but do not have access to grants for living costs.
