SIXTH-form college bosses in Bolton say they have had to cut bursaries for over half of its students. Bolton Sixth Form principal Stuart Merrills says the college’s bursary funding has dried up due to a number of factors, including taking on more students with its recent expansion and the pandemic, meaning students need more support for remote learning. The college’s bursary funding, between £9 and £20 a week per student, for this year is based on the previous year (2019) before the college took on more students and before the long-term effects of coronavirus were known. Mr Merrills, along with Bolton South East MP Yasmin Qureshi, is calling on the government to lift their funding to make sure students on bursaries are not negatively affected.
