13 Student A will be starting a Computing degree in September His parents earn under 25'000 per year. He is currently studying at Sheffield College. EXAMPLE Funding from Student Finance England: Tuition Fee Loan 3,225 (paid direct to SHU) Maintenance Loan 3,497 Maintenance Grant 2,906 Funding from Hallam: Hallam Grant Bursary 700 Hallam Partnership Bursary 300 *Total Living Costs Support 7,403 ( 168 p.w.) *If the student does not want to take out the Tuition Fee Loan he can put his other funding towards his fees instead. The student would then have 3,225 less to live off per year.
14 Student B is starting a Law degree in September His parents earn 50'000 per year. EXAMPLE Funding from Student Finance England: Tuition Fee Loan 3,225 (paid direct to SHU) Maintenance Loan 4,950 Maintenance Grant 50 Funding from Hallam: Hallam Grant Bursary 0 Hallam Partnership Bursary 300 *Total Living Costs Support 5,300 ( 120 p.w.) *Again the student could use his other funding to meet his fees and avoid taking out the Tuition Fee loan. This would mean living off just 2,075.
15 Managing your Money SFE funding is paid termly. Current research suggests that students can work hours per week without their studies being affected. Open a Student Bank Account. Full time students are exempt from Council Tax. Students should also be able to avoid paying health costs (fill out form HC1).
