    Would they be able to hold my place open?
    I don't have anything to sell that would make up that amount.

    It's £88.

    Working on minimum wage it would only take you around 15 hours to make up that amount, i'm sure you can manage to find some temp work on local gumtree/forums/newspapers.

    You could certainly ask and, if they won't, you could apply again next year.

    You don't need to have one big thing to sell; £88 isn't a large amount to make from doing a car boot sale or selling some of your clothes/ornaments/gadgets on Ebay.

    I could but the enrolment day is tomorrow and it states in the letter that my place could be given to someone else if i don't enrol. I wonder if they would put it on hold while i save up?

    You could ask them to give you till Friday, gives you plenty of time to earn £88.
