Is it worth applying for a bursary?

As you may know, instead of EMA 16-19 can get bursaries instead and will have to pay it all back weekly, monthly or annually but l am debating whether l should or not. l am hoping to do L2 Health and Social Care in September and l don't have to travel but l do need expenses for books, equipment & uniform. l am still trying to look for a job but this would *help* me whilst l look. ls anyone else going to apply for it and what are the risks? l do not want to get into debt, and even though 1,200 may not be *alot*, it is to me especially if l do not have a job by the time l finish college.
