Student funding
Student funding in terms of tuition fees and living allowances is a complex and often confusing area. To avoid any anxiety or stress related to money problems, it is essential that you assist potential students by providing accurate and up-to-date information and finding the best options to secure funding according to their personal situation.
This resource presents a list of possible funding opportunities, from student loans to bursaries and tax benefits. However, the list is not exhaustive; it is simply a guide to some of the support available. It is important that your organisation is aware of the variety of sources of funding available to Further and Higher Education students and informed of any changes, in terms of eligibility criteria and funds available.
