I just got a phone call from my year lead. My grades were good enough to get offered the degree.

Problem is money. Does anyone have any advice about student loans and access grants? I will do it if I can afford it. But with a mortgage to pay, I have to be certain. WOOHOO!!!!

Congrats!!!!!

I'm going through all that at the moment ........loaning government money, it's like pulling teeth. :rolleyes:

Well done, Raven !!!! You'll find a way to get the finance, I know you will ! Good luck ! :-6 :-6 :guitarist :guitarist

Well here is the scoop:

I would lose £4000 for the year through the NHS bursary office. Student loans could only cover £2500 of that.

There is no way I could cover the rest.

So I will just have to be happy with a diploma and half of a degree by studying at degree level the last semester. Nevermind. Mortgages must come first and you cant eat a degree.

And also at first it doesnt make any difference in practice and pay. I only need 3 modules and a disertation to finish it. No worries. I can do that when I am in a better financial situation. Like getting seconded. :p

If they're prepared to allow a gap then that sounds like a temporary solution, it's a lot better than having to say no and walk away from the possibility. Well done, you got a lot closer and as you say you've got a good interim qualification to use in the meantime.

Congratulation.

Spot, you have a scholarship foundation established, isn't that correct?

Awesome, congratulations Raven Girl. whooo hooooo

Well done, Raven :-6

Whichever option you go for, I just know you'll get where you want to be :-4
