Training at uni & finance
Options

I was wondering if some one could help me with this as I cant find anything online. Basically from may 2014 I will have a large inheritance from a passed away family member close to the sum of £30,000. now in September 2014 I am going to college to do an access course to enable me to go to uni. This course is a year then I hope university can become an option. the trouble im finding is when I go to uni I want to apply for grants and loans as you do, will my inheritance have any impact or stop me getting any of these? if it does stop me and I have to pay for uni out of my own money will I get help when im out of cash?
thanks
thanks

You should be OK - back in my day student finance was calculated off income, using the same definition of income to the income tax people and most inheritance is taxed before you get it, not as income.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

I dont think student finance requires you to disclose a lump sump, but if it's in an interest earning account (it really should be - that would be nearly £70 a month pre-tax interest!) you have to declare the income.Nothing I say represents any past, present or future employer.0
