HELLO sorry for the caps

BREAKING NEWS: NATWEST HAVE PULLED THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINEE LOAN SCHEME!!!!!!!! EXCEPT FOR LAW STUDENTS NOW. it was pulled 31 jan 2011.

natwest.com/personal/student-graduate/g2/graduate-borrowing/postgraduate/trainee.ashx dunno why you can still access this webpage but it should be down - I got it through google

only for law students now natwest.com/personal/loans/g1/professional-training-loan.ashx

ALSO YOU HAVE TO BE IN YOUR 2ND YEAR AT LEAST.

IF ANYONE ELSE IS READING THIS AND WAS RELYING ON THIS LOAN, THE ONLY WAY POSSIBLE IS IF YOUR FILLED IN FORM IS IN A NATWEST BRANCH RIGHT NOW ALREADY, DATED AT THE LATEST 31 JAN, AND THE NATWEST BRANCH THEN FAXES IT TO A GRADUATE MANAGER in which case it'll work

sorry to be bearer of bad news

I went to apply for this loan yesterday and was told this exactly. I am a final year medical student who was desperate for some money, this was my last resort. I have lots of extra expenses this year that i haven't had in other years and now I have no idea how to make ends meet. The replacement "flexiloan" is useful for people like me because it is only available to graduates, and as of yet I am not a graduate. I only have 5 months to go until I qualify but as things stand I can't afford to get that far because of lack of funds. I've been at uni 7 years and am so close. It is so frustrating that they have removed this loan. I'm losing sleep over what to do now. Am seeing the finance people at unji on monday but am not expecting much.

hey
I'm sending you a private message
though it is past the deadline, it is still possible to get it, but you need to act fast and go into a natwest branch on monday.
see your PM
I hope it works out

(I was so annoyed about this too. especially since I can see the webpage is still up. so it was a massive shock to find out they've pulled it. I feel like writing a complaint into natwest website about the page being up but that wouldn't change anything for me.)
