College Fees

[Luke367]

Good afternoon guys,
What things are out there to pay for a college fee? I have to some how get £1600 for this course i wanna do, I'm looking into Grants is there anything else out there if grants don't give me that much money? I'm 20.

Thank you
Luke

If you're on the dole at the moment you can get it reduced by some random figure that no-one seems to know how to work out - I did when I went back to college and got the fee down from £1500 to £330 or something ridiculous like that

For some courses Prince's Trust is really amazing at looking into they do some brilliant work

Hi @Luke367;,

Funding for colleges has changed yet again for this year. It changes almost every year.. at 19+ I'm sure it'll either be co-funded or full cost. Speak with your college finance department with regards to a potential bursary (I know nothing about these) otherwise it would seem like a loan would be the only option.

We have a big flowchart showing the various outcomes and if they're going to be co-funded, full cost or free. How much you have to pay (if anything at all) can be determined on employment, the course, its level and of cause your age (amongst a lot of other factors).

If you leave me the details of what you wish to study then I will try and help you best I can.

There are loads of grants, are you unemployed? Do you/your carers have a low income? Do you have children? Are you in a full-time job?

Plenty of grants you can get.
