Monday 28th November 2011
All the A levels and BTEC level 3 students had 2 presentations on the ‘Going to University in 2012’ and getting to grips with the financial implications of studying at university. Both the University of East London and the Student Finance services spoke about;• Tuition fees
• Living cost loans
• Non Repayable grants
• Repayment of loans
• The National Scholarship programme
• Other Bursaries and Scholarships.
All of the students appreciated the talks given and came out of them much more knowledgeable. It was interesting to note that many of the students were not put off by the amount it was going to cost them to continue their studies. However many were interested in staying in London to keep the costs down.
