Our Student Support Team are here to help before you start and throughout your time with us.

Where necessary our dedicated team may follow up with a support review, speak to your school or local authority, and, where relevant, your social worker, key worker, or parents or carers. Support is tailored to individual needs and may include:
You can tell us about your support needs on your application form, when you attend an open event or at your interview. Please tell us as much as you can so that we can fully understand your needs.
If you can bring any supporting documents, such as an Educational Health Care Plan, Educational Psychologist reports, or medical diagnosis letters with you to your interview, that would be really helpful. We may arrange a support review as a follow up to your interview, talk to your school about support you have received to date, and to your local authority about funding arrangements. We may also talk to your Social Worker, Key Worker, any health professionals you regularly engage with and parents/carers.
We will endeavour to provide appropriate support for you, with needs assessed on an individual basis.
We understand that financial support can make a real difference. If you’re eligible, our Bursary Support may help
with things like travel costs, free meals, student teamwear and other college-related expenses.
Once you’ve enrolled as a student and received your Access Sport College email address, you’ll be able to apply for bursary support by logging into the Pay My Student portal.
You can find out more about our bursary support, including our full Bursary Policy, Evidence Guides and Bursary Support Terms & Conditions, by visiting our dedicated Bursary page on the Access Sport College website.
The page explains who can apply, what support is available, and what evidence you’ll need to provide when making your application.
