Discretionary Learner Support Fund (DLSF) - Travel and Materials

Each year, over 1000 students apply to the City Lit Student Bursary for help with course fees, materials, and assistance with travel and family care via the Discretionary Learner Support Fund grant, funded by the Government. 
Find out who can apply and how to apply and get your questions answered throughout the process in this short video:


 

The DLSF can provide a contribution towards your travel costs towards books and/or materials that have been pre-set by your course department.

If your course is accredited, the DLSF can provide a grant to pay the examination fee.

Can I apply? 

To apply for a grant you be able to answer 'yes' to the following statements: 

  • I am eligible to pay the concessionary fee, or can show I earn below the London Living Wage
  • I am paying the home fee (not an international student)
  • I am not currently in full time education
  • My course runs for 3 days or longer
