HIGHER EDUCATION FINANCIAL MATTERS

UK and EU students in the final year of their A level courses can apply for Student Loans and grants from the government – and, in many cases, a bursary from your university or college. Applications should be made as soon as possible once a student has selected their first choice university. The whole process can be done on line by visiting www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance

2010/2011 APPLICATIONS

Higher education institutions in Northern Ireland and England may charge variable fees of up to £3,290 per year. Scotland and Wales can make different arrangements and you are advised to check these on individual university websites.

The good news is that these fees are not repayable until the course is completed; a student has entered employment and crossed the earning threshold of £15,000.

You can take out a loan to cover the cost of fees; this is not means-tested and you can apply via the direct.gov website listed below. Contributions to help with the cost of being a student are available on a sliding scale up to a maximum residual household income level of £50,020.

For queries your first point of contact should be to visit the Student Finance website at www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance. Please feel free to contact me on 01483 279104 or sue.teal@hurtwood.net if you think I can be of any assistance.
