Youth Guarantee Programme
The Youth Guarantee programme provides some 16-24 year olds with an opportunity to participate in a range of courses free of charge.
To find out if you qualify and for further information about the Youth Guarantee programme visit the website.
If you're approved on a course under Youth Guarantee, you can't get a Student Loan. You may be able to get either a:
- Student Allowance, or
- Youth Payment benefit, or
- Young Parent Payment benefit.
18-24
If you're 18-24 and on a course under Youth Guarantee, you may be able to get the living costs and course-related costs parts of the Student Loan. If you turn 18 part way through a Youth Guarantee programme, you won't be able to get course-related costs or living costs until your next enrolment.
