Student Finance - Study now, pay back when you're earning: what students need to know
about finance --
 
As you may know, from September 2006, course costs and financial support arrangements for university and higher education students are changing. Student loans are being extended to cover increased tuition fees, while universities and colleges are making millions of pounds available in
bursaries and scholarships.
 
The Directgov student finance portal has been built to help students find out exactly how much financial help they are entitled to - from both the government and from universities and colleges - and how to get hold of it.
 
Designed in collaboration with the central organisations in student information and funding - including the Student Loans Company, UCAS, NUS and Aimhigher - the portal directs users straight through to the core pieces of information in a straightforward and understandable way.
 
We hope that linking through to the portal will give you the opportunity to enhance your own explanation of the new student finance arrangements, and help you give students a complete picture of the help available to them at all levels.
