Hi i was wondering if anyone knew when to start applying for the bursary, childcare etc, as i have had a letter back from ucas saying not to wait for an offer of a place and start applying for student finance asap, but isn't this a bit premature???? they say this way you will know what help you can get. I'm sooooooo confused HELP!!!!!

You'll need a place before you apply for finance as you have no place to say you're studying and no course to study for. Wait until you're offered a place and enquire as to whether the uni sends out your forms, otherwise they can be download from the SGU website.

Thanxs littlenoo that was my understanding aswell xx

Hello there Adele, I know you can only apply for bursary when you've been offered a place as you need the uni to confirm who you say you are etc.. I think same goes for the student loans aswell, however have you applied for the mature students grant (I know its only £30 per week but its better than nothing x) Let us know when you hear back, Preston seem to be taking there time, but in the last 2 years 3 tutors have retired, and not as yet been replaced... so that won't help speed things along really will it?
