The wellbeing of our students is hugely important to us at Fife College . So with the cost of living increasingly becoming a major concern , we have put in place a number of measures to help our students through these hard times . These include :
Free Breakfasts
As a Fife College student , you can benefit from a free breakfast on campus to ensure you start the day on the right foot .
Free Bus Travel ( under 22s )
Fife College students aged 16 -21 who already have an active National Entitlement Card ( NEC ) or Young Scot NEC card can update their current card online to allow access to the free bus travel scheme .
Free Gym Sessions
Our gym facilities at our Kirkcaldy campus are free to all students and staff from all campuses . This also includes free group fitness classes .
Help with Funding Our Student Funding team can help provide advice on any number of funding support options , such as assistance with childcare , rent / mortgage payments and disability support . And our Guidance team can help advise students on their eligibility for hardship funds , grocery shop vouchers and even support from foodbanks .
Warm Spaces
We want to make sure that our students have somewhere warm to study , and to help save students from having to use too much of their own gas and electricity . We have therefore designated our libraries as “ warm spaces ”. Our libraries are available at all campuses and are open all day during the week , and on some days they are open into the evening too .
Student Discounts
Did you know that YoungScot cards ( NEC ) have a number of discounts available for when you are a student ? YoungScot also have a wide variety of help available to young people looking for support during the Cost of Living Crisis .
Health and Wellbeing
Our Guidance and Attendance teams are available across all five campuses . As a Fife College student , you can make an appointment to see one of our advisors in private to talk to us about any issues that may arise . This can include any personal issues , financial concerns , on-going support and exit guidance for when you progress to further study or employment . All appointments are treated with respect and confidentiality .
Free Devices
As a Fife College student , you will be able to access several digital resources . Dropin PCs and Chromebooks for research and study are available when you are in the library . Chromebooks are also available on a 7-day loan to take home .
