Help with finances
Along with student finance, you may be eligible for additional support from us.
Career Degree Bursary
The Career Degree bursary must be spent on additional courses and activities offered to students each year. This package is available at the same amount, £500 for full-time students and £250 for part-time students, during each year of study. Students can choose from a wide range of qualifications, short courses and course-related activities as part of this offer. It cannot be substituted for cash, fee waiver or in-kind support funds.
Hardship Fund
Students that find themselves in financial hardship during the academic year can apply to the Access to Learning fund, which exists to support the retention of students. Both full-time and part-time students can apply to the fund. The level of an award is at the discretion of the College and subject to funds available.
Email: he@lincolncollege.ac.uk for more information.
Supporting your mental health
We know sometimes things can be challenging so if you need help or support at any time, we have a team of friendly, qualified experienced staff available to advise and support you.
We offer a wide range of services to our students, including a confidential counselling service.

Staying safe
Prevent
All further education providers have a duty to safeguard their students from being drawn into terrorism or extremism. Prevent is about safeguarding students to keep them safe and within the law. The Prevent Duty is not about preventing students from having political and religious views, but about supporting them to use or act on those concerns in non-extremist ways.
Safeguarding
The College is committed to the safeguarding of students and we have a rota in place so that there is always someone available to deal with queries. Learners can call into Main Reception at Lincoln Gainsborough or Newark, email safeguarding@lincolncollege.ac.uk or phone 01522 876000 ext. 6495/6529 and ask to speak to a member of the Safeguarding Team. Information about safeguarding support both during and outside College opening
Student Common Room
Our fully staffed Student Common Room (SCR) at Lincoln is a safe and welcoming place for learners to visit between lessons. The SCR is open during term time from 8am each weekday, closing at 5.30pm Monday – Thursday and 5pm on Fridays.
Counselling and Pastoral Support
Support can be provided for any emotional or personal difficulties learners might encounter. Confidential appointments can be arranged with a Counsellor.
Learners can arrange an appointment by phoning Student Services on chaplaincy@lincolncollege.ac.uk, emailing: studentservices@lincolncollege.ac.uk or calling in to our Main Reception.
