Travel Support
Here at HoW College we appreciate that the cost of getting to and from college can soon add up. With this in mind, we have various financial support schemes for our students to help ease any travel worries.
Free Travel
- Learners aged 16-19 whose household income is too high to receive support via the 16-19 Bursary, but live more than 1.5 miles from their campus of study can access assistance with three terms of travel support.
- Eligible household incomes begin where eligibility for the 16-19 Bursary ends (£25,000) and continues up to £45,000.
- In all but exceptional circumstances this fund will be issued in the form of bus or train passes.
Free Redditch to Bromsgrove Intercampus Bus
- Our free intercampus bus runs between our Bromsgrove and Redditch campus. There is a reduced bus service on Fridays.
