Student Grants for over 19?! HELP

twminator

Hello fellow Moneysavers,

Im 20 yr old living in Wales and starting a diploma course in Guildford, Surrey next moth. There seems to be no grants available to me. The Adult learning grant applies if it is the first time for me to do a course. I have compleated a NVQ3 in Catering and am now enroling in a Diploma course in the ACM in Guildford. The course fees are £3000 because i am over 19. If there is anyone out there with any info about grants to suit my situation it would be greatly appreciated if you post any info. Thanks
