Hi, my husband had a child from another marriage who is currently living abroad. He intends to bring him over to the UK at some point before the child finishes school. I would love for him to get a bursary or something similar from a reputable school. My salary however is way above the limits set for this type of financial help, my husband’s salary alone would probably make him eligible for a means tested bursary or the likes. Of course, one could say our combined income is high and would disqualify us but this is not my child and I therefore have no financial responsibility towards his education. Does anyone know how step children classify in this case? Would institutions look at combined income? Or would they look at the income from the birth parent only? In all honesty, I don’t intend to contribute to this child’s education either since I will have my own to support and would not be able to afford it.
