will i be able to get student grants for next year?

hi basically my rentz earn too much meaning i dont get any grants for my uni. lyk they even help me they dont give me jack all. all i get is a student loan. i try to support myself by working 5 - 10 mon to fri which is straight after uni and through matched betting. although i make enough through them 2 it is very tiring and i dont want to take any loans out. if i was to say to the ppl my parents dont support me and say ive moved out will i be eligible for the grants? cuz ive heard one of my mates did it n he got the full wakk 2700 grants then some extra from the uni. although i do live with my rentz i could make out that im renting a place n mayb withdraw a few CC's to make it look lyk im poor. ne1 else got any ideas how to do this? mann i need them grants bad then i'll be sorted.

get yo money :dance: make the paper :grouphug: **haha lol at smiley big orgy**

    What you are describing is fraud.

    Also, even if you did move out now, you would still be classed as dependent on your parents.

    The only way you could qualify as an independent student, is if you declared yourself as estranged from your parents. This would require evidence from a relevant professional person.

    I do hope you don't write in this style at university.
    Gone ... or have I?

    That was nearly impossible to read..

    If you're living with your parents your parents are helping you considerably so I don't say how you can argue they don't?

    You are eligible for loan but you won't get a grant. Why not just take a student loan like the rest of the country?

    A habit you might be well advised to break before you get much older, at least if you want to get a job after graduation.

    I didn't even try to read beyond your first sentence!

    "Too Much MSN" is not an excuse for bad spelling and sloppy grammar. I'd expect this sort of thing from a text message, but when you have a full keyboard in front of you, there is no real time-saving in typing poorly constructed sentences. It just makes it harder for the reader to understand what you are going on about.
