There is an enrolment fee of £15 per course. For many students this is all you will pay. Many students at Hillcroft can receive a special bursary to support residential accommodation childcare and travel costs. To qualify for this support you must have a settled status and have been ordinarily resident in the UK or European Union (EU) and have been in the UK for the last 3 years; and have not attended a UK Institution for Higher Education or completed a degree in the UK. Tuition costs are £64 for either a weekend or mid-week course and £128 for a week. A concessionary rate of £32 per weekend or midweek and £62 per week is available to women with a family income of £23 000 pa or less. You do not have to pay tuition fees for courses if you receive means-tested benefits or are dependent on someone in receipt of means-tested benefits. Please talk to us if this presents a difficulty for you.

Women over 19, who have been ordinarily resident in the UK for the last 3 years; Women who have not been resident in the UK for 3 years but have been granted refugee status or exceptional leave to enter or remain. Students must be at least 19 before the start of the academic year in which the course begins.

Residence at the college throughout the course is an important part of the learning experience. The learning environment and facilities are open 24 hours per day and students have a unique opportunity to learn together, support each other and share experiences.

The college has a registered crèche on site and we can provide childcare for a limited number of children up to 14years. Places with local Ofsted registered child-minders (off-site) may be booked for children 3yrs and under and over 12 depending on numbers. If demand for childcare is very high the college may seek to book off-site registered childcare places for children of other ages. Places for children at the college are limited and are allocated on a first come first serve basis. Students wishing to bring children with them must apply in advance. Please ask us about availability. The college can also cover the cost of childcare for children younger than two years and between the ages of six and fourteen provided off-site by registered childminders, registered nurseries or playgroups of your choice.

There is no catch. Hillcroft exists to help women who have not previously had an opportunity to fulfil their potential through education. Email enquiry@hillcroft.ac.uk Tel: 020 8399 2688 www.hillcroft.ac.uk Registered charity 312825
