Grants for Students

Hello everyone. 

Not sure where this is the correct category but I couldn't find anything else.

In a nut shell, I am looking for a company to support with my university fees.  I worked for a company who paid for my course, but part way through the course they changed their mind and wanted the full course fees paid back (long story, went to court and they won).  I am wanting to raise £7,500 to support my university fees.

Is anyone aware of any companies that would issue grants?

Thanks

    Does the student loan not cover you?

    It can be very tax efficient working part time during uni years. I had an ongoing relationship with an agency who were able to find me well paid office work during the 20+ weeks of holidays. In my second and third year I was employed by the uni running 4 hours a week of tuition workshops. I also volunteered on Sundays in a charity bookshop. These experiences improved my CV for applying for graduate entry jobs.
