Student finance

[Dappy]

Sorry for all the questions but ive never done any of this before!

I was conscious that the deadline to apply for student finance was the 31st of May and I was under the impression that to get my UNI fees paid by the NHS I have to apply by then.

Anyhow I don't think I've done it right :crying:

It says I'm entitled to a maintenance loan of £2462 but it hasn't asked for any of my income, any of OHs income or dependents etc. Now I know that's not the full amount, OH will be cutting his hours so I want his income to be assessed to see if we can get anymore -


If you want to get the full loan Student Finance England will assess your household income and base the amount of your loan on that. Your household income is your parents’ or partner’s income, plus yours.

How do I get the maintenance grant as our income will be below £42,600?

This is sooo bloody confusing!

Student finance is different to NHS bursary, You can apply for student loan from student finance as a top up or emergency fund. You then have to go to NHS bursary website and then apply for your bursary/maintainence loan/dependents allowance.

From the quote you have posted you have applied for student loan from student finance and not the NHS bursary
This is for your mantainence LOAN

This is for your bursary, allowance, etc

Hope this helps as I\'ve have just filled all mine in x

Ah ok I can't apply for that yet as I haven't had a letter etc.

Is the form hard? I hate forms!

Not really compared to others I\'ve had to fill in for HM rev&cust lol. You don\'t need a letter I applied online

[Dappy]

Oh it says this -


Only students invited to apply online should create an account and complete an application via the Bursary Online Support System (BOSS). Over the next few weeks we will be inviting students whose forthcoming academic year commences from June to October 2012 to apply in this way.

I had an email from my university saying that I should apply for it now, NHS Bursary are on facebook to deal with questions you may have so maybe it\'s worth checking that out and asking them, as they could tell you how to go about it.

Ok I will do, I'll wait till I've had my offer confirmed first. I never applied to the UNI I've been accepted at via ucas so I've had to add them on extra today for them to hopefully get the form on Tuesday and put my offer on.

And ACCEPT!

Thats what the guy on the phone said anyhow, all exciting!
