Fee waivers (discounts) for transferring students

Eligibility criteria:

Students who pay their tuition fees by themselves and having financial difficulties in paying full fee can apply for the fee waiver. This includes students who transfer into ICON College, having left another higher education provider and so are responsible for a proportion of their tuition fees; and it applies to any student has completed their course but could not pay their full fee and are unable to claim their certificate due to outstanding fees.

1. Students must provide evidence that they are responsible for paying all or a proportion of their tuition fees themselves.
2. Fee waivers are for students from low-income backgrounds (household income below £42,875), studying on full time accredited FE or HE courses. Students will be required to submit proof of income to support their application.
3. Students must be an active registered current student, except Year 1 first semester studying at ICON College of Technology and Management.
4. Students are expected to have maintained an appropriate standard of behaviour and attendance (including online teaching provision) throughout the course of study. If students are currently facing disciplinary action, they may not be eligible for this support.
5. The usual study location of the course must be in the UK.
6. Students must have a bank account into which a BACS payment can be made.
7. Students must have completed the application form honestly and declared any reasons they may not be eligible for the award. Fraudulent claims may lead to disciplinary action and/or the refunding to the College by the applicant of any fee waiver awarded.
8. The decision of the ICON College Financial Support Panel will be final, and no correspondence will be entered into with a student once a decision has been made as to the eligibility of each student’s claim.
9. All decisions regarding the award (or not) of a Fee Waiver will be communicated to each applicant by email.

Amount of Fee Waivers:

Fee waivers can vary from £500 to 50% fee for one year, depending on individual circumstances, which will be assessed by the ICON College Financial Support Panel.

Frequency of Entitlement:

A student can apply for a Fee Waiver once per year. Only in exceptional circumstances will more than one Fee Waiver per student, throughout the duration of their undergraduate programme, be considered.
