Straightforward pricing.
Funded from the bursary itself.
For most schools and colleges, myBursary is funded entirely through the DfE’s 5% administration allowance - the portion of the 16–19 Bursary Fund institutions are permitted to use for admin costs. No separate budget line required.
Based on student numbers.
Pricing is based on your total number of Y12 and returning Y13 bursary-eligible students. All prices are per year and exclude VAT.
| Students (Y12 + returning Y13) | Annual cost |
|---|---|
| Up to 20 | £399 |
| 21 – 50 | £699 |
| 51 – 100 | £999 |
| 101 – 150 | £1,299 |
| 151 – 200 | £1,699 |
| 201+ | Subject to negotiation |
All prices exclude VAT. For institutions with 200+ students, get in touch and we’ll confirm costs.
The 5% administration allowance.
The Department for Education permits institutions to use up to 5% of their total 16–19 Bursary Fund allocation to cover the costs of running the fund. This includes software, administration support and other reasonable running costs.
For most providers, myBursary comfortably sits within this allowance. This means the platform pays for itself from the fund - without drawing on your school or college’s own budget.
Your exact 5% figure depends on your total fund allocation, which varies by institution. When you contact us, we can confirm whether myBursary falls within your allowance and help you document this for your records.

Annual increases capped at CPI or 5%, whichever is higher
We will never raise your annual subscription by more than the Consumer Prices Index or 5%, whichever is higher. We endeavour to keep prices as low as possible and will always give at least 60 days’ written notice before any change.
Multi-year price lock
Commit to a three-year term and lock in your price for the entire period: no increases at all during the term. Ideal for institutions that want budget certainty across multiple academic years.

If we lower our subscription rates for new customers, existing customers receive a refund of the difference. You will never pay more than a new customer for the same subscription.
