Description
If you need help covering the costs of childcare, you may be eligible for support from the Government and/or from Birkbeck, depending on your mode of study and personal circumstances.
Benefits
Eligible students can receive funding for up to 99 hours of childcare per term, during term weeks only. This is based on study intensity.
Eligibility
In order to apply, you must meet the following criteria:
- be currently enrolled on a minimum of 30 credits on a part-time undergraduate programme, a Postgraduate Certificate, a Postgraduate Diploma, or a taught Master's degree (full-time undergraduate students should apply for the Childcare Grant from Student Finance England)
- be a registered Birkbeck student, studying on a programme that is based at our Bloomsbury campus in London (this includes programmes delivered online)
- be a Home/EU single parent in receipt of child benefit
- have an annual household income of less than £25,000, as defined below

You will usually need to be single parent to be considered for childcare funding as it is expected that any spouse/partner can normally care for children.
