Bursaries again

Hi

My bursary is being reviewed and I make around 45K net but my job is due to end in July. Currently half my outgoings each month is school related so if I lose my bursary, thats all of it gone. We have no holidays, no car plus I'm a single parent without regular support from my ex but i have some savings i can dip into. Just wondering what the bands are for bursaries and anyone had any experience with the people who come to see you? Should I flag my job is ending so last years salary isn't a good measure of my income for this year.

If you have confirmation of your job ending include that letter. How will you afford the other costs though? Bursaries don't cover everything.

Hi @gogohmm , yes i have confirmation in writing of the job ending. I genuinely dont know if they will extend it so the plan is to find something as soon as possible to follow on.

I have been dipping into savings to manage extras. If i lose the bursary and can't find a job, it will obviously wipe out my savings within the year. However im confident i can find something workwise even if a few month of looking.
