Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

How much should I get, loans and grants.

Quite confused about what i should actually be getting so just wonering if anyone would have any ideas, even if rough...

So firstly i'm 18, living just outside London and living alone. I have a council flat, in which i currently have Housing Benefit covering my rent. Also i have no contact with either of my parents and have evidence to show SFE to prove.

I will hopefully be studying at Greenwhich Uni (this year), but avery hill campus... So do i get elimanted from the higher loan because its not quite in London?

So to break it down
- Living alone outside london
- Have no income
- Estranged from parents
- Studying in London

Any help is good, thanks!
Joe.

As your household income is below the threshold you'll be able to to apply for the maximum grant, your university is based in London and you'll be living away from home, so you should be able to apply for the full loan and grant.

It's best to give them a call though and see whether anything has changed as the above may only be true for the year I applied in.
