Funding Opportunties
There
many funding opportunities open to home and international students.
These include:
Home/EU students
Career Development Loans
This loan is a joint initiative between the Department for Education
and Skills (DfES) and three participating banks - Barclays, the
Co-operative, and the Royal Bank of Scotland. It allows you to borrow
up to a maximum of £8,000 (although you will not necessarily be
awarded the maximum amount) and will consider assisting towards the
cost of tuition fees, books, course equipment, and travel.
The Career Development Loan is a deferred repayment bank loan to help
you pay for vocational learning or education that lasts no longer than
two years. The Learning and Skills Council (LSC) pays the interest on
your loan while you're learning, and for up to one month afterwards.
You then repay the loan to the bank over an agreed period at a fixed
interest rate.
Further information is available from each of the participating banks,
or from the
DirectGov website.
Another site which you could take a look at is
Student Money. This is a site set up by HotCourses that gives
advise and advertises funding for Home and Overseas students.
Overseas students
Applicants may be eligible for awards for study abroad offered by
