• If you are aged 16-18 and living with parents/guardians, we will need evidence of their annual household income.
• If you are 16-18 and in care, or a care leaver, we will need a letter from your social worker confirming care status and financial hardship.
• If you are 16-18 and receiving income benefits in your own name, we will need evidence of these e.g. a letter from the benefits office detailing your claim.
• Evidence should be dated within 3 months of your application. Your application cannot be assessed until all evidence has been submitted. If you think you may be eligible but with different income evidence, please contact the Bursary Team on bursary@grimsby.ac.uk and they will advise you.
