What financial support is available?
There’s lots of financial support on offer when you go into uni or college.
Bursaries
On top of your Student Loans or non-repayable Maintenance Grant, your uni or college will also offer non-repayable bursaries to a wide range of students.
Exactly what’s on offer is up to your uni or college. Students paying the maximum tuition fee and receiving the full non-repayable maintenance grant are guaranteed to get at least £310 next year.
In practice, you could get much more than this - in 2006/2007 a typical bursary was around £1,000. And this was available to a wide range of students.
And the best thing is, if you do get a bursary, you won’t have to repay it not a penny.
