This report takes a close, initial look at the new 16-19 Bursary Fund for England and its impact on disadvantaged 16 to 19-year-olds in education and training. While it is too soon to quantify any longer term impact on student numbers or outcomes, young people's experiences of the new system's first term provide important feedback to ensure lessons are captured to inform any future developments affecting this key group.
