Hi
My dd is going to uni in a couple of years, I confess to knowing very little about student grants etc only that it depends on parents earnings. Can anyone point me to a website that can give me some idea how parents earnings relate to a possible student grant?
Many thanks
Sue

Well for a start they are not grants anymore they are loans! My son went to university in 2002 (not in London) and he got about £4000 per year but less in the last year. The fees were around £1000 then and if you owe the university any money they will not let them graduate.0

Nope - there are grants now too, under the 'new' system (kicked in last year). Finance is now split into:
Fees loan.
Maintenance grant.
Maintenance loan.
all you need to know is on the Student Support Direct website...April Grocery Challenge £81/£1200 -
I second DrFluffys recommendation.... https://www.studentsupportdirect.co.uk . Have found the site easy to use and as DrFluffy said, it will work out what you are entitled to, including any grants (not just loans). It has a fab calculator for working it all out. If not https://www.direct.gov.uk have some advice but the site can be pretty slow!!!!Very excited to be marrying my partner in crime for the last 7 years in September 2012 :jNo longer a midlandsfairy... back living in the sunny south!0
