well, in the last week a colleague and i who are doing the foundation degree have had a bursary of £750 each to cover books, staffing etc help while we are studying!!!! this is apparently from the transformation fiund and we didnt even apply for it. somehow early years know what we are studying if we are attending and have just paid us the money!!! woohooo
we did have an early years grant from them of the same amount for fees last term, so this may be where they have got the details from
but it was a nice surprise!!
still dont really understand it though, they said that we dont claim it is allocated, just sent!!
