Applying for the DfE Grant before booking your place on your course
The DfE advises that you apply for the funding first and then apply for your course place.
We don't mind if you book with us before applying, but we will ask you on your booking form if you have (or intend to) apply for DfE funding.
Further information is provided in the grant conditions.
