Most learners from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland can apply for a repayable tuition fee loan to cover the full cost of the fees. Learners taking out the tuition fee loan will be required to begin repayments when they have finished the course and are earning at least £21,000. Repayments will be automatically deducted from your salary.

Tuition fees are not fixed for the duration of the course and may increase year-on-year.Most learners will be eligible for funding towards their tuition fees providing they have not previously studied at higher education. For any queries regarding eligibility, please contact the relevant funding body.


If you are using a tuition fee loan and/or grant to pay for your tuition fees, you will be required to bring in your financial notification documentation from the SLC to the enrolment session. If you are paying the tuition fees yourself, you can either pay the full amount up front or you will be able to pay in instalments if you wish. If you have a sponsor paying your fees, you will be required to bring in a letter from your sponsor to this effect to the enrolment session.

Living costsThere are loans and grants available to help you with living costs. The amount you can get depends on your household income and where you live.

Cyngor Ariannol ar gyfer Dysgwyr Addysg Uwch Llawn-amserFfioedd hyfforddiant ar gyfer dysgwyr Addysg Uwch llawn-amser blwyddyn academaidd 2016/17Mae'r coleg yn codi ffi hyfforddiant blynyddol ar gyfer cyrsiau llawn-amser. Mae gan y rhan fwyaf o ddysgwyr o Gymru neu wlad yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd y tu allan i'r Deyrnas Unedig hawl i fenthyciad ffi hyfforddiant i'w ad-dalu o hyd at £3,900 tuag at eu ffioedd a grant ffioedd nad oes angen ei ad-dalu sy'n llanw'r gwahaniaeth rhwng uchafswm benthyciad ffi hyfforddiant a'r ffi hyfforddiant a godir gan y coleg. Gall y rhan fwyaf o ddysgwyr o Loegr, yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon wneud cais am fenthyciad ffi hyfforddiant ad-daladwy i dalu am gost lawn y ffioedd. Bydd angen i ddysgwyr sy'n cael benthyciad ffi hyfforddiant ddechrau ad-dalu ar ôl iddynt orffen y cwrs ac yn ennill o leiaf £21,000. Caiff ad-daliadau eu tynnu'n awtomatig o'ch cyflog.

Nid yw ffioedd hyfforddiant wedi eu gosod ar gyfer hyd y cwrs a gallant gynyddu flwyddyn ar flwyddynBydd y rhan fwyaf o ddysgwyr yn gymwys am gyllid tuag at eu ffioedd hyfforddiant cyn belled nad ydynt wedi astudio'n flaenorol ar lefel addysg uwch. Cysylltwch â'r


corff cyllido perthnasol os gwelwch yn dda os oes gennych unrhyw ymholiadau am gymhwyster.

Os ydych yn defnyddio benthyciad ffi hyfforddiant a/neu grant i dalu am eich ffioedd hyfforddiant, bydd angen i chi ddod â'ch dogfennau hysbysiad ariannol gan y Cwmni Benthyciadau Myfyrwyr gyda chi i'r sesiwn ymrestru. Os ydych yn talu'r ffioedd hyfforddiant eich hunan, gallwch un ai dalu'r swm llawn ymlaen llaw neu gallwch dalu mewn rhandaliadau os dymunwch. Os oes noddwr yn talu eich ffioedd, bydd angen i chi ddod â llythyr gan eich noddwr yn cadarnhau hyn i'r sesiwn ymrestru.

Costau bywMae benthyciadau a grantiau ar gael i'ch helpu gyda chostau byw. Gall y swm a gewch ddibynnu ar incwm eich aelwyd a lle'r ydych yn byw. Gallech hefyd fod yn gymwys am help ariannol ychwanegol os ydych yn cyflawni rhai meini prawf. Mae mwy o wybodaeth ar gael drwy ymweld â'r wefan berthnasol fel y manylir islaw. Bydd angen i ddysgwyr sy'n cael benthyciad cynnal a chadw ddechrau ad-dalu pan fyddwch wedi gorffen eich cwrs ac yn ennill o leiaf £21,000. Caiff ad-daliadau eu tynnu'n awtomatig o'ch cyflog.

Gwneud cais am gyllidAr gyfer dysgwyr sy'n byw yng Nghymru, Lloegr a'r Alban, caiff ceisiadau am gyllid eu llenwi ar-lein yn y wefan berthnasol. Mae'r gwefannau dilynol hefyd yn cynnwys gwybodaeth fanwl am y cyllid sydd ar gael.

Ar gyfer ymgeiswyr sy'n byw yn:

Cymru studentfinancewales.co.uk

Lloegr direct.gov.uk/studentfinance

Yr Alban saas.gov.uk


Nodyn, Dylai ymgeiswyr o Ogledd Iwerddon gysylltu â'u Bwrdd Addysg a Llyfrgell. Dylai dysgwyr o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd sy'n gwneud cais am gymorth ariannol lenwi ffurflen EU13N.

Dalier sylw, Mae'n bwysig eich bod yn gwneud cais am gymorth ariannol tuag at eich ffioedd hyfforddiant i'r corff perthnasol cyn ymrestru ar eich cwrs. Bydd methiant i wneud cais am gyllid neu roi ffordd arall o dalu yn golygu y bydd y coleg yn trefnu anfoneb i chi am y ffioedd. Mae dysgwyr yn atebol am unrhyw ran o'r ffioedd nas telir gan y cyrff uchod. Os ydych yn gadael y coleg cyn gorffen eich cwrs, byddwch yn atebol am dalu'r ffioedd hyd y tymor olaf y buoch arno.

Y cam nesafUnwaith y bydd Coleg Penybont yn derbyn eich cais, anfonir copi at yr adran berthnasol i'w ystyried gan y staff academaidd. Byddant yn ystyried yr wybodaeth yr ydych wedi ei rhoi a'r sylwadau gan eich canolwr. Gellir gwahodd ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus (ar y cam ffurflen gais) i fynychu cyfweliad neu ddiwrnod i ymgeiswyr yng Ngholeg Penybont. Yn ystod y broses yma byddwch yn cwrdd â thîm y cwrs, yn cael cyfle i drafod eich cais, gofyn unrhyw gwestiynau a all fod gennych a gweld y cyfleusterau addysgu a'r adnoddau dysgu ansawdd uchel a gynigiwn.


Cynnig lle ar y cwrs o'ch dewisOs ydych yn llwyddiannus yn cael cynnig lle ar y cwrs o'ch dewis, yna cewch eich hysbysu am y cynnig drwy lythyr gan y Tîm Addysg Uwch yng Ngholeg Penybont. Os ydych yn llwyddiannus ac yn derbyn cynnig lle ar y cwrs, gallai'r cynnig hwn fod yn un o ddau:

1. Cynnig diamodMae tiwtoriaid y cwrs yn teimlo eich bod wedi bodloni gofynion mynediad ar gyfer y cwrs a'ch lle ar y cwrs yn ddiamod. Bydd y Tîm Addysg Uwch yn eich cynghori sut i dderbyn neu wrthod y cynnig.

2. Cynnig amodolCawsoch eich derbyn ar y cwrs ar yr amod eich bod yn cael graddau neu bwyntiau neilltuol mewn arholiadau neu gymwysterau. Mae angen i ddysgwyr a gaiff gynnig amodol adael i'r coleg wybod beth yw eu canlyniadau eu harholiadau cyn gynted ag y maent yn eu derbyn.

Cadarnhau eich lleOs oes gennych gynnig diamod, gallwch dderbyn eich cynnig ar unrhyw amser. Os oes gennych gynnig amodol, gofynnir i chi gysylltu â'r Tîm Addysg Uwch i gadarnhau eich sefyllfa.

Os nad ydych yn cyflawni amodau'r cynnigI rai dysgwyr, mae canfod y gallech fod ychydig yn brin o amodau eich cynnig neu ofynion mynediad cwrs penodol yn arwain at ychydig ddyddiau anodd a dryslyd. Peidiwch â gofidio, cysylltwch â ni i drafod yr opsiynau a all ddod fod ar gael i chi.


Cyngor Ariannol i Ddysgwyr Addysg Uwch Rhan-amserYn y lle cyntaf, cysylltwch os gwelwch yn dda â Cyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru am gymorth ariannol. studentfinancewales.co.uk neu Ffôn: 0300 200 4050

Caiff pob cais eu hasesu'n unigol a gall dysgwyr gael mynediad i fenthyciadau a grantiau yn dibynnu ar amgylchiadau personol.

Ffioedd hyfforddi ar gyfer dysgwyr Addysg Uwch rhan-amserGellir talu'r holl ffioedd hyfforddiant am gyrsiau rhan-amser adeg ymrestru neu drwy randaliadau (os yw ffioedd y cwrs dros £300). Os yw'ch cyflogwr neu noddwr yn talu eich ffioedd, bydd angen i chi ddod â llythyr gan eich cyflogwr/noddwr yn cadarnhau hynny gyda chi i'ch sesiwn ymrestru.

Mae Benthyciadau Ffioedd Hyfforddiant ar gael i ddysgwyr sy'n astudio cyrsiau gydag o leiaf 25% dwyster (30 credyd) o gymharu gyda chwrs llawn-amser, cyn belled nad ydynt wedi astudio cwrs Addysg Uwch yn flaenorol ar yr un lefel neu lefel uwch. Bydd angen i ddysgwyr sy'n cymryd y benthyciad ffi hyfforddiant ddechrau ad-daliadau yn y mis Ebrill bedair blynedd ar ôl dechrau eich cwrs neu'r mis Ebrill ar ôl i chi adael y cwrs - p'un bynnag sydd gyntaf. Fodd bynnag, dim ond pan fyddwch yn ennill o leiaf £21,000 y byddwch yn dechrau ad-dalu. Mae ad-daliadau yn seiliedig ar eich incwm uwchben £21,000 a chânt eu tynnu o'ch cyflog yn awtomatig. Os ydych yn defnyddio benthyciad ffi


hyfforddi i dalu eich ffioedd hyfforddiant bydd angen i chi ddod â dogfennau hysbysiad ariannol gan yr SLC i'r sesiwn ymrestru. Mae manylion ar gael ar studentfinancewales.co.uk.

Costau bywOs ydych yn astudio ar ddwyster cwrs o 50% o leiaf (60 credyd) gallwch wneud cais am grant cwrs heb fod yn ad-daladwy. Mae hyn yn seiliedig ar fodd ac mae'n dibynnu ar incwm eich aelwyd ond gallwch gael hyd at £1,155 (*seiliedig ar ffigurau 14/15). Gallech hefyd fod yn gymwys am help ariannol ychwanegol os ydych yn cyflawni meini prawf neilltuol. Mae manylion ar www.studentfinancewales.co.uk

Dalier sylw, mae'n bwysig eich bod yn gwneud cais am gymorth ariannol tuag at eich ffioedd hyfforddiant i'r corff perthnasol cyn ymrestru ar eich cwrs. Bydd methiant i wneud cais am gyllid neu roi ffordd arall o dalu yn golygu y bydd y coleg yn trefnu anfoneb i chi am y ffioedd. Mae dysgwyr yn atebol am unrhyw ran o'r ffioedd na telir gan y cyrff uchod. Os ydych yn gadael y coleg cyn gorffen eich cwrs, byddwch yn atebol am dalu'r ffioedd hyd y tymor olaf y buoch arno.
