In the future, Connexions Cumbria will be known as Inspira, reflecting our broader purpose, which is to Inspire people, organisations and communities to be successful.

Connexions Cumbria is well known in the region and we are extremely proud of our strong local reputation. So within Cumbria, we will continue to use the Connexions name in relation to specific, well-known services for young people.

f you’re aged between 16 and 19 years and think you might struggle with the costs for full-time education or training you may receive a bursary.

Students most in need will be eligible to receive a bursary of £1,200 a year. This group includes:

  • people in care
  • care leavers
  • people claiming income support
  • disabled young people who receive Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance

Other students facing genuine financial difficulties may be awarded a bursary at the discretion of their school, college or training provider.

Unlike the EMA, schools, colleges and training providers will be responsible for awarding bursaries to students. With the exception of the £1,200 bursaries for students most in need, they decide on the amount. They will also decide when bursaries are paid, and will set conditions that students should meet to receive a bursary, for example, linked to behaviour or attendance.
