Student Finance

[sophie_1003]

I was just checking when I can apply for finance for academic year 10/11 and I noticed that it mentions that the amount you get depends on various stuff, household income, where you live etc and whether or not you're in your final year. Next year (10/11) will be my final year and was just wondering what difference this will make?

Not really, already looked at that and had a quick look around the DirectGov website and the only reference I can seem to see is that being in the final year influences what you will receive but it doesn't make it clear if it will be more/less or by how much. I imagine it will be less than for other years as the last term finishes earlier but wasn't sure.

thanks anyway by the way!

You get less, on the basis that you are taught for less weeks of the year and can go straight into employment rather than needing to be supported over the summer holidays. From memory (bear in mind this was 10 years ago) I got £3000 for the first two years but about £2300 for the last one.

Thanks bushbaby, I thought that would probably be the case!

I think it just depends on what Uni n what course, I got pretty much the same amount every year!
