Funding for full time students may be available if they meet eligibility criteria.

Further Education

DARD Further Education Awards will be administered by the Western Education and Library Board (WELB) on behalf of DARD. Students enrolled on a full-time Further Education course at CAFRE should therefore apply to WELB for financial support.

There are no tuition fees for full-time Further Education courses.

For more details see the further education financial support page.

Higher Education

The administration of Higher Education Awards has been transferred to Student Finance NI.

Student Finance NI is a partnership between the Education and Library Boards (ELBs) and the Student Loans Company (SLC) for delivering financial support to students on behalf of the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) Northern Ireland.

Students should therefore apply to their local Education and Library Board for financial support for the 2009/10 academic year.

In September 2009 CAFRE will not be charging top-up fees. Our maximum tuition fee will be £1,285 per year for full-time undergraduate courses.
