Extra funding for your degree
Balancing your finances as a student can be challenging, especially if you're new to budgeting.
Depending on your specific circumstances, you might have the opportunity to apply for a variety of additional funding sources to help pay for living costs, tuition fees, textbooks, and other educational expenses. Let’s go through your options:
Extra government help
There may be extra government financial help available to you depending on your nationality or residential status and your individual circumstances. Extra help could be available if you:
- are on a low income
- have children or dependent adults
- have a disability
- are studying a specific subject such as nursing, social work, medicine, or midwifery.
You can use a student finance calculator to see what extra financial help you might be able to get.
Scholarships, bursaries and grants
These are types of financial support you may be able to get, and you don’t have to pay back. They can help with the cost of your education.
