Apply in the mango app
All new students at West Nottinghamshire College (NTU students at the Mansfield hub should refer to this scheme) will have the opportunity to sign up to the travel scheme when they enrol and secure a place on their course. Returning students who used the app last year will need to re-apply for the travel scheme for the 2026/2027 year using the invite code wnc-travel. The terms and conditions remain largely unchanged.

- If your household income is less than £50,000 per year, then you may be eligible for a full bursary. If your household income is between £50,000 and £150,000 per year, then you may be eligible for a part bursary.

If you live within 2km (1.24miles) or less from the college campus you attend, you will still be able to sign-up to the travel scheme but will pay £660 (irrespective of whether you qualify for a bursary). However, if there are legitimate reasons that prevent you from getting to college, you may be eligible to pay the lower price of £330. If you study at two campuses and one of these is more than 2km (1.24miles) from your home, then you will pay £330.
*The final balance must be paid by 28 April. Payments will be split across the remaining months from when you first joined the scheme.
