A bursary (think that's what you meant?) is funding given to someone who is outstanding in a field of excellence. For example, if you have represented the country for some kind of sport then you might be awarded a scholarship by a university or collage to go and study there.
You can apply for means tested funding to carry onto further education. These are paid on top of student loans in the form of grants which don't need to be paid back for someone in your situation. There is a lot of info on http://www.direct.gov.uk and http://www.studentfinancedirect.co.uk which would be useful to look at.

You might be a bit old for EMA and there are also some financial conditions for application.
There may be an adult learning grant scheme at the college but these are organised locally rather than nationally do it'll differ where you are.
It'll also depend on what type of course you are studying. The college themselves are generally the best people to speak to.
