    hi, I'm divorced (but remarried) and my daughter is now looking into university grants. I already have debt management and pay CSA as required but am worried I'll be forced to fork out for her university. this isn't an option as I am not even coping with the current bills particularly as my employee isn't (for the 2nd consecutive year) increasing my salary. thanks.

    You may well find that the CSA payments cease when she starts university but, if they don't, many people start to make these payments to the child rather than the ex partner and so help support them at university this way.

    Students do get a maintenance loan if they don't qualify for a grant.
  • Try buying the Student Funding Guide its around about £4. Through that I found I was entitled to a grant from where my Dad works, and anotehr grant from my local council
