Financial Support

The Financial Contingency Fund

Do you need financial help with learning Welsh?

Support is available through the Financial Contingency Fund.

To be eligible, you need to:

• be enrolled in a Learning Welsh course with one of the Providers of the National Centre for Learning Welsh,
• be 16 years of age or older on 31 August 2025,
• be a settled, legal, UK resident for at least 3 years; or meet the conditions of residence in the Learner Eligibility Guide for post-16 funding (details in the policy on the website),
• confirm that it would be difficult to access your studies without support from the Fund due to financial considerations being a barrier.

It's possible to receive assistance with costs such as

• childcare
• examination fees
• resources (e.g. books, equipment)
• travel and parking costs

*It is not possible to claim for course fees

The documents for 2024–2025 are listed below. Documents for 2025–2026 will be published here shortly.
