Hi, I'm 35 and fed up with working 2 jobs with long hours. so, recently i've been thinking about doing a degree with the OU.
I've had a look around to see what funding is available but it's not clear on how much i could potentially get. I live in Wales, household income under 25k but not on benefits. my course fee is between £833 and £1076.per year.
I earn roughly around 22.5k from both jobs, i live alone so a big chunk of what i earn goes towards bills, I have a little put away to go towards a deposit on a house some time this year so i don't know whether it's wise to do it now. As it takes 6 years to complete i don't want to put it off any longer.
Does anyone have an idea what i could get in terms of a grant? i'm not even sure i'll be eligible for a grant as it's a distance learning course.
