Student Grants for over 19?! HELP

Options
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 :D

    FunderFinder produces two useful computer packages called FunderFinder PIN (People in Need) and FunderFinder GIN (Groups in Need). These list charities that may be able to award a grant to a person or group in need, or to a person who needs funding for a course. The list is available from 500 sites throughout the UK including some local authorities, libraries, citizens advice bureaus, social services and some local branches of the National Association of Councils for Voluntary Service. Contact FunderFinder for details of organisations close to you that have the packages.
