Transport Assistance for Students aged 16 - 19
Can I get help with transport to my school sixth form or college?
Detailed below are the eligibility criteria for 16 to 19 year olds applying for school or college transport.
Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:
a) Be a Warwickshire resident.
b) Be aged under 19 on 31st August before the course starts.
c) Be attending a Local Authority maintained school, foundation school or maintained college.
d) Be attending the nearest school sixth form or college to home, which offers the course being studied. (For students aged 16-19 this is considered the nearest qualifying school / college).
e) Be studying a full time course (at least 16 hours per week).
f) Have a journey from home to school / college of more than 3 miles measured by the shortest available walking route.
Students who received free transport to the school where they studied their GCSEs will qualify for transport assistance (subject to the distance criteria above). However, those who received free transport after an exam year move will only qualify for assistance if eligible under the normal 16-19 criteria.
If any of the following apply you will not qualify for assistance:
a) You are applying for Higher Education courses for which you may apply for a mandatory grant.
b) You are on a part time course of less than 16 hours per week.
c) You have a journey of less than 3 miles measured by the shortest available walking route.
d) You are 19 years of age or older on 1st September at the start of your course.
e) You have not paid the flat rate charge, or provided evidence of entitlement to relevant benefits.
f) You are in full time employment or on a Youth Training Scheme.
