    BTEA is for people who are unemployed for at least 6 months returning to college so I don't imagine you'll be able to get it. But I'd say you can apply for a grant- does your college have a student finance officer?

    If you working for the past four years and paying an "a" class contribution and have enough contributions you can claim jobseekers benefit until you start your 2nd year of college.
