Travel costs will be supported through the purchase of appropriate travel tickets. Where this is not possible and where cash re-imbursement is required, the student will need to provide clear evidence of the cost of travel in support of claims (e.g. train ticket, bus ticket, receipts, etc.). Where a student is claiming mileage cost for use of their own vehicle in support of travel, where accepted this will be re-imbursed at a rate of 45p per mile. Due to the peripatetic nature of SCL Group Examination centres, travel expenses for examinations will automatically be awarded to any student that qualifies for a bursary as they have already been assessed to have financial need to participate in education and examinations are a core part of that. 8. Application Process Applications for a Bursary must be made using the correct application form and should be submitted in full by as soon as is practicable. The application must be signed by the student. In most cases applications for non-travel items will be processed within one month and applicants will be informed in writing of the decision. Subject to meeting the condition requirements as detailed below, any payments will be made by BACS to a bank account in the name of the student (only) monthly. The student must have a valid bank account in their name unless there are exceptional reasons. Timing of payments will be at SCL Group’s discretion. 9. Qualifying Conditions and Requirements All students who wish to apply for the bursary must meet the following conditions: • Attendance: on or above SCLs target of overall 85% per month unless there is a valid reason why this level of attendance cannot be achieved. All young people must endeavour to meet punctuality and attendance requirements. Students must present to their tutors mitigating evidence and/or explanation to maintain their bursary payments if attendance falls below these thresholds. • All students must adhere to the terms of our Learning Agreements • Initial Assessments and Diagnostic Assessments must be fully completed before payments will be made.
