iv Advanced Learning Loans for Aged 24+ www.hrc.ac.uk Advanced Learning Loans for Aged 24+ From the Skills Funding Agency and the Student Loans Company. Start your course at HRC with the help of a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan. They say you can t put a price on a good education yet course fees stop many people studying part-time every year. If you re aged 24 or over, you can now apply for a 24+ Advanced Learning Loan to help towards the cost of your course, starting on or after 1st August, 2014. Loans are available for most of our Level 3 and 4 courses, including advanced apprenticeships, and do not have to be paid back until you start earning at least 21,000 per year from April 2016: No upfront course, registration or exam fees to pay. Start repayments only when you re earning 21,000 or above. Low-interest repayments at inflation plus up to 3%. Outstanding loan balance written off after 30 years. No credit check or income assessment. What s changed? You may not have realised before, but the government used to fund 50 percent of course costs for adult learners at Level 3 and above. From August 2013, the government withdrew this funding meaning that you, the student, are now responsible for covering the full cost of your course yourself. 24+ Advanced Learning Loans have been introduced to help with payments and are offered by the Skills Funding Agency and the Student Loans Company. For more details about 24+ Advanced Learning Loans, pick up one of our information packs at either campus or download a copy online now. Making your own decision It is important that you make your own decision about financing your course based on your own personal circumstances. We cannot give you financial advice but we do advise you to look into all available options before choosing to take out a loan. Please contact the Money Advice Service for independent financial advice at www.moneyadviceservice.co.uk. 24+ bursary If you are approved for an Advanced Learning Loan, you may also be eligible for the 24+ Bursary to help with costs related to your course, such as travel, books and childcare.
