Did you know there’s more financial help for students going into higher education from September 2008 – including EMA recipients?
The current student finance package consists of Student Loans for Tuition Fees and Student Loans for living costs, and non-repayable support in the form of Maintenance Grant and university and college bursaries.
If you have a disability, mental health condition or specific learning difficulty, or if you are a student who has children or adult dependants, you could also be eligible for additional help that doesn’t have to be repaid.
From September 2008, around one third of eligible students are expected to be entitled to a full Maintenance Grant of up to £2835. Around a further third are expected to qualify for part of the Maintenance Grant.
The amount you receive is based on your household income – and the good news is that you won’t have to pay a penny of this back.
If you are due to start repaying your Student Loans after 1 April 2012, you will be offered the choice of putting your payments on hold for up to a total of five years. This could help you put your money where it’s most needed at important times in your life – for example, buying a home or starting a family.
