Grants
Powys County Council can advise you whether you are eligible for grants to cover the cost of the course fees, transport to and from college or subsistance. If you are between 16 and 19 and living with your parents you will not usually be eligible for a subsistance grant.
If you live very far from the college, or if travelling is difficult, then lodgings can be arranged.
Single Parents, People with disabilities or refugees may be entitled to help from the Benefits Agency TEL: 01686 863000
