<p>The government considers refugees, who entered the UK via the Syrian Vulnerable
Persons Resettlement Scheme or the Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme, eligible
for funding on the same basis for 16-19 study programmes as all other eligible students.</p><p>
</p><p>In addition, the department provides a number of financial support programmes
for economically disadvantaged 16 to 19 year olds, in particular the 16-19 bursary
fund, to help with the education related costs associated with staying in post-16
education such as travel and course equipment. These programmes aim to enable 16 to
19 year olds to participate whatever their financial situation, and are available
to refugee students who meet the qualifying criteria for each scheme.</p>
