How much is a student entitled to?

artystix

Is there a website that features a student finance calculator anywhere?

My daughter wants has a place at Manchester Uni in sept 2009,

My husband & I are on disability benefits, so we cant contribute much.


How much is she actually entitled to in the way of grants loans etc?

She is talking about deferring for a year & working to save som more money, she has £750 saved up & puts money from her part-time job into her savings account.

I dont know how this works as I never did Uni!

Any advice, most appreciated

Thanks

If you're in England you can go to Student Finance Direct and fill out the calculator on there. I doubt it's been upgraded for 09/10 yet but it'll give you a rough idea what your daughter's entitlement is. Manchester university also do scholarship grants which your daughter may be able to apply for. There's a calculator HERE for 09/10.
