    Bursary Payments and PT Jobs
    Hiya, i just got a quick question.

    I have been accepted for support in the form of bursaries, now if i get a part time job would i lose these bursaries at all? Is there ANY way i could lose these bursaries now that i have been accepted?

    Cheers everyone

    What are you studying? what sort of bursary is it - ie who is paying it? usually you would only have to pay it back if you quit your course... working shouldnt have any bearing on it, and anyway how would they know you are working?

    i am studying Media Production (TV and Radio), and it is the Higher Education grant. I think it is my LEA that is paying it.

    They would know i am working when i go on contract wouldnt they?

    The HE grant is dependant on your parents income and i highly doubt they will retract it if you get a job.

    The HE grant isn't a bursary. It's also based on household income from the previous financial year. The only calculations it can affect would be next years', but you don't have to declare earnings from your own part time job for that. You won't earn enough from it to matter, and you're a tax dodger now

    As for any bursary, that'd be froem an independent sponsor and/or the institution. If you have one of those, it's up to their rules. But I seriously doubt they'd take it back. In fact, they'd probably admire the initiative...

    was just about to say that... also even if it did make a difference there is no chance they would find out - LEAs don't have the time or resources to keep track on every student via the inland revenue!
