The Post-16 School Access Fund is a sum of money allocated by the Learning and Skills Council and administered by the Leicestershire County Council Student Finance Service to enable eligible students who live in Leicestershire to stay on post 16 years of age.

To be eligible for financial assistance from the School Access Fund you must:
