Student Finance for A-Level Students

Shelley84

Hi,

I'm going to be starting full time A-Levels in Sept, I'm 25 and have 1 son.

Looking through the SFE site and here it looks like most people who are getting help from SFE are going to Uni.

Does anyone know if I will qualify for help doing A-Levels?

Tried calling SFE but still haven't managed to get through!

Any help welcome!!

As far as I know, Student Finance is for higher education, not further, so you wouldn't get any help from them. I'd contact your LEA and see if they can offer any help.

I think A Levels are Level 3.

If you haven't done the same Level before.

A-levels are classed as further education not higher education so aren't eligible for student loans etc...
But there is some help available such as the Adult Learning Grant...
You can find more information HERE
As Misspop says, try contacting your LEA to find out whether they can help, also speak to the college where you are doing your A-levels.
