This is an old edition of the EFA e-bulletin, so has been archived. Please view our most recent e-bulletins and web pages for up-to-date information.

1. Action: 16 to 19 Bursary Fund - 2013 to 2014 management information (MI) return

The 16 to 19 Bursary Fund management information return for the completed 2013 to 2014 academic year closed on 31 October. We are still awaiting returns from a number of institutions. If you received bursary funding in 2013 to 2014 and have not returned your completed return, can you please do so as soon as possible.

The return form is available via GOV.UK. Institutions should read the supporting notes before completing the return, and will require their Unique Provider Identification Number (UPIN) to start the form.

If you have any queries about this return please contact us at 1619bursaryfund.efa@education.gsi.gov.uk.

2. Information: Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) information for applicants

We have published further information for academies and sixth-form colleges applying to access the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) in the 2015 to 2016 financial year and capital funding arrangements for multi-academy trusts.

You can register now for our webinar about the Condition Improvement Fund, taking place on 17 November.
