Ways We Can Help

We want to make sure that you can make the most out of your college experience. So don’t worry about the costs of coming to college – there is lots of financial support options available to you!

Free Bus Travel

If you are aged 16-18 and on a full-time course, we provide a FREE Arriva bus pass for the whole academic year, which you can use every weekday during term time.

If you are unable to travel using an Arriva pass, you may be eligible for Mersey Travel bus pass, or you may receive assistance towards the cost of alternative travel.

If you are aged 19+, you may be eligible for assistance towards travel costs. This could be a free bus pass, a discounted bus pass or help with travel expenses.

You can find out more about getting to college by downloading our Finance and Travel Booklet, or if you have any questions, please contact a member of the Bursary Fund Team on financialsupport@sthelens.ac.uk / 01744 733766.

Free Breakfast

We know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is why all our students are entitled to a free breakfast!

Enjoy free toast, cereal or porridge and a hot or cold drink, from 8.00am – 8.50am, every weekday.
