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
