Putting students from armed forces and veteran families first.

We’re here, every step of the way, to help you to realise their potential and thrive.

We understand getting started at university and college can mean big changes, with lots of things to consider.

 

From grant funding to complete an HNC/HND or Modern Apprenticeships to university funding, we can provide student funding for a maximum of four years.

We can provide a little financial support for lots of different things to complement other sources of student support secured in support of your studies.

 

We can provide a little financial help to take a little weight off your shoulders to help you focus on getting the best possible student experience.

From covering living costs, transport, and purchasing learning resources to meeting more specific needs, we’ll be able to help with most applications for support.

What we can help to cover

We can support students, from armed forces communities enrolled in college and university courses across the United Kingdom in several ways:

Living & transport costs

We understand young people can face financial barriers to completing a college or university course. That’s why we provide financial assistance to cover monthly living and transportation costs to reduce stress and help young people focus on their studies.

Digital equipment

We know the way colleges and universities deliver courses is evolving. That’s why we provide financial support to help young people purchase digital equipment and resources to enhance their student experience, via blended learning.

Meeting specific needs

We appreciate young people may require help to cover more specific, personal needs too. We’re very friendly; so young people, family members or a friend can get in touch with Forces Children Scotland to discuss how we can help with specific needs.
