Understanding Student Finance can appear complex. Here we attempt to demystify the information on different websites.
The best site for Student Finance information is www.gov.uk. The advice is accurate and up to date. Young people can feel the pressure of having a large amount of loans for studying at university. It is important that we give them the facts and there are some excellent examples of the costs of the repayments on gov.uk.
Another valuable resource is Martin Lewis’s Money Saving Expert website.
In addition to student loans we recommend that you look for bursaries and grants. This is money which is a ‘gift’ and you never have to repay. UCAS has a good guide.
