Student Loan with a Twist! :)

I could really do with some help after having spent hours and hours on Google and coming up with nada!

I am 22 and starting college again in September, and because of my Dad's income (which won;t be helping me out!) and my salary from last year (of which there is none left!) I am unable to get any Government grants.

I am going to be getting a job but am struggling to find one that will fit around my college hours. Are there any student loans available to a 22 year old who is a student at a college - not a university?

Thanks in advance

Amy :)

    Have you studied at college or sixth form before? Or did you leave after GCSE?

    If the latter you maybe able to get:

    Other than that, no.

    I am not entitled to tis due to the fact that my course is only part time. Obviously it would be wonderful to receive a grant but I know that I am unlikely to get any. It is more the student loan that I am after - the sort that you get at university but for college?

    OK, thanks for your help. You would think they would encourage young people to get back in to education!!
