Placement year financing under old scheme

samhan

Hello everyone,

I am going on placement this July for a year and have applied for student financing.

Since I started uni before the tuition top fees were introduced my funding is based on the old £1050 ish yearly tuition fees but since my parents are on a low income I get that paid off by and also get a HE grant of £1k.


I have just received the assessment for the student financing and it states that the tuition fee is paid for (this is half the normal ~£1k) but no HE grant.

I was wondering if people who have previously gone on placement received a HE grant on their placement year.

Thanks for any help

Sam

Just found out that Government grants are not normally available to students during a full placement year.

Thanks anyway
