A way around paying full fees ?

:j obviously we will pay the tuition fees when she goes to uni by hook or by crook, and the same when its the turn of our younger two kids.

In the mean time between now and then there is no help for her financially except trusty us, whilst her mates so I am told will get paid up to thirty quid per week to stay on + help with traveling expenses, she isnt entitled to it herself And much as I would love to be in a position to give her that sort of money myself I just dont have it.
The point I was trying to get across was that people care about their kids future and are under huge pressure so you cant blame them for becoming desparate and exploring alternative avenues to help there kids get by. :A I feel they are just doing the best they can :A

what i'd do right away is start finding out what bursaries and scholarships are offered by the uni's she is planning to apply to. These are not aways limited to acadeic achievement.
For instance at liverpool we have a bursary for people specifaically linked to Hillsborough.

in my experience they keep these different awards under their hats a bit so you may have to rummage around lots on their sites or call up.

if your daughter is academically successful there are often bursaries which are awarded for the first year for which you need refs from schoolr etc, these are often re-awarded providing she did well as she went on.

there are also often bursaries from local organisations too.

the thing that seems quite common is that once you get a bursary one year, you very likely to get it the following year - kind of on the premise that the univeristy/organisation's investment has paid off.

Here's an example from my current uni:

i received the john lennon sholarship through my undergrad degree and now as a postgrad and very useful it was too.

individual departments have awards available which most people are not aware about.

i've mentioned this before but try
prospects.ac.uk
to search for more organisations which can give funding, this site also searches univeristies for what they offer.
