The average Total Programme Funding per 16 to 19-year-old student in the 2018/19 academic year was £4,504.

The equivalent figure for the 2022/23 academic year is not yet available.

In 2018/19, the base rate of funding per 16 and 17-year-old student was £4,000. This was the largest component in the Total Programme Funding per student. In the 2022/23 academic year, the base rate will be £4,542. This is an increase of 13.6% in cash terms, or 2% in real terms over the base rate in 2018/19.
