Childcare grant help!
Hi,
I've started my first day at uni today and after speaking to other people here i've come to realise im not getting and childcare grant from SFE!! Now i'm in a panic as without it I'm going to have to quit and I cannot afford £650 childcare fee's! even with my partners wage (which is about 20k ish)
What can I do apart from quit?!?!?!

You definitely wouldn't be eligible for child care grant if your partners income is 20k

i know 20k is a lot of money but when thats the household income for 2 adults and a child its not a lot left over after paying bills and food etc You'd be getting the full loan plus a bursary from your uni.
