This is a question out of interest rather than a personal issue.
Does any sort of grant / bursary exist for students from lower income families towards University tuition fees? I've just been on gov website and gone through calculator, and for a new student (assuming 18 and just finished A levels) from a household with a combined income on £10,000 (I started at £25,000 and worked down), they are not eligible for any grants, just a loan.
If anyone out there has any experience with this I'd really like to know what you / your child received? I would like to know facts before getting into a real life discussion about it!
I received a grant towards my tuition fees (about 40%) about 15 years ago based on my parents income (upper working class, not claiming benefits or other support).
I was under the impression that given the tuition fee rises, students from lower income families would still be entitled to some assistance?
Thanks in Advance :)
