Sounds really worrying Alexander. Where do you live? Maybe we can point you in the direction of some advice on bursaries?

Hi Alexander - From September you might be able to get help through an enhanced discretionary learner support fund which is replacing EMA. It will be managed by schools, colleges and training providers and it will be up to them to decide who is eligible - more info here http://tinyurl.com/6f4de2z. There's also info about help with travel costs on direct.gov - http://tinyurl.com/6fuhal5
