Travel Support Scheme for 16-18 Full Time Learners 

We don’t want the cost of travel to be a barrier to young people accessing an outstanding education. All full time 16-18 learners who live more than 3 miles from college can access subsidised travel passes for buses and/or trains regardless of household income.

However, we know that the cost of living crisis is particularly impacting lower income families in Devon, so Exeter College has increased its investment in supporting travel costs for 2023/24. The new levels of support will now offer extra travel subsidies to households with an income below £50k per year. This means that travelling to Exeter College might cost much less than you think (and will be completely free of charge for some households). See below for how much a train or bus pass will cost in 2023/24.

See below for how much travelling to college could cost.

• You will be over 16 and under 19 on the 1st September 2023
