Hi all, advice gratefully received...
We have two student DDs currently starting their final year. We live in Scotland, and DD1 is studying in Scotland, a 4 year course with fees paid by the Scottish government. DD2 is studying in England, a 3 year course with fees paid by her via a student loan. They each got a loan of about 4.5k a year for maintenance, which we have topped up. So, after graduating, DD1 will have a loan of around 18k and DD2 around 41k.
DD2 is probably going to do a Masters, and we have decided to give her a fourth year of maintenance contributions. This would make our payments to both DDs equal.
What do you think is fair for parental contributions? We are considering paying DD2's masters fees, which would mean we are giving her more money than DD1, but despite this she would sill have more student debt than DD1.
We are comfortably off BTW, but definitely not rich.
