More than 3 miles away
Students aged 16-18 who live more than 3 miles^ away from Southport College are eligible for a travel pass for bus or train (or travel funds where necessary).
You will still need to apply for this using the Pay My Student Portal, and although the pass is guaranteed if you live more than 3 miles^ away from the college, we do need formal confirmation of parental income. This is so that we can allocate the pass from the correct funding stream.
Between 1 and 2.9 miles away
Students aged 16-18 who live between 1 and 2.9 miles^ away from the College may still be eligible for a free travel pass but are means tested to assess their eligibility. Please apply using the Pay My Student Portal, so that we can also assess what other help you may be entitled to.
^It is College policy to assess eligibility by measuring the shortest walking distance using Google Maps.
