2. Information: 16 to 19 funding in academic year 2018 to 2019

We have written to ESFA funded 16 to 19 institutions about funding in academic year 2018 to 2019 for students aged 16 to 19 and students aged 19 to 25 with an education, health and care plan.

We have also updated the 16 to 19 allocations timeline on GOV.UK. We update this page throughout the year. It provides important information about how we allocate 16 to 19 funding to colleges, independent learning providers, schools and academies.
