Hi all

im starting uni in September in London through University of West London formerly TVU, i heard about other grants that are available to apply for on day of enrolment apart from your original student loans, does anyone have any info on what is offered for students that are eligible as i hear conflicting info all the time, thought this would be the best place to ask! i emailed the place im studying but they just told me to enquire the day i enrol with university of west london ..

i've been granted my normal maintenance grant and tuition fees and wondering what else is available to claim for as london is very expensive obviously, anything else available to apply for on top of my loan and job will be a bonus! if anyone has any info to share who's claimed them before that'd be great
