Dd got an offer from Lincoln uni for adult nursing. She was hoping to get somewhere local to avoid accommodation costs but didn't get offers locally.
I want her to be able to attend but doing my sums now, I work ft earning about 20k, my dh is self employed turnover 24k 2014/2015 which was a bad year.
I think we'd only be entitled to nhs bursary about 3,500 and maintenance loan of 2500. We don't have the money to top this up as have a few debts etc and she runs a car which she pays from from a part time job, and she's been told she will find it a challenge to work whilst studying and placements.
Does this sound at all doable? feeling very depressed that we've never been able to afford to put money aside for this before
