Student support at Scarborough TEC

We’re here to help you and have a wide range of information, advice and guidance and support services that are all available to make to make your time at Scarborough TEC a fantastic experience.

At Scarborough TEC, we’re committed to supporting all of our students. We therefore provide a number of services on a wide range of personal, social, and academic levels.

If you have a learning difficulty, a sensory impairment, or a physical disability, we will provide you with all the support that you need so you can attend, enjoy and achieve on your course.

When you apply to the college we will meet with you to discuss your learning needs and if you require specialist support our Student Support Team will ensure you get dedicated help.

We will provide help and support in a number of areas, including:

  • Dyslexia or dyscalculia
  • ADD/ADHD
  • Autistic disorder such as Asperger’s syndrome
  • Hearing or a visual impairment.

Our Student Support Team will also help you if you have a disability affecting your mobility. Please call 01723 372105 for more information or send an email to [email protected]

We understand some of our learners will need financial help during their studies and, depending on their situation, we have a 16–19 bursary scheme in place that can help with things like travel expenses, equipment, trip or even childcare costs through the Care to Learn scheme. More information about the Care to Learn scheme is available here.

For those aged over 19, we may be able to offer financial assistance through the 19+ Discretionary Student Support Fund or Advanced Learner Loan bursary, which can assist with childcare support and transport expenses.

All students will receive a Scarborough TEC ID card, which must be worn at all times when on campus. This card also gives our students access to an exclusive range of discounts in our area, from clothing to music and everyday essentials.
