Guide to student funding

We all know that going to University is expensive. It’s estimated that students spend up to £45,000 over a typical three-year university course, and according to an annual poll by Lloyds TSB the average student debt will be £17,500 by the time they leave.

The good news is that there is a whole host of ready-to-access funding available to help you get through uni. There’s more than 3,000 funding sources offering upwards of £160 million. But with funding available from government, universities, charities and businesses – finding out what kind of funding is going to best suit your needs can be a challenge.
