So I got a letter from student finance saying the tuition fee is £9000 and the maintenance is £3500 or something similar. They want me to sign this form asap.

Is this right? Once I apply for the bursary will they 'cancel' the £9000 bit so I won't have to repay it?

HELP! thanks :smile:

Have you applied to go to London? We get a loan of £3,263 if studying in London or £2,324 elsewhere in the country. I haven't had a letter back from student finance yet (they still want confirmation of a bursary) so I can't confirm if they'll mention the tuition fee, but this doesn't sound entirely right to me! Give them a call tomorrow and see what they say, good luck! :smile:

(You'll need it in my experience their customer service isn't the best! :tongue:

)

I have firmed Manchester Met so I'm not sure how I managed to get £3500 maintenance- but that's without including parental income so no doubt it will go down.
The guy I spoke to was really lovely and helpful, he said my course wasn't on their system as NHS funded but to sign the forms and send them back, then when I get my bursary forms in the mail I should send them a letter with copies of the bursary attached so they can change the details.

I can imagine this will get very messy!!

Noooo - he's lying. It is on their system as NHS funded (I had to speak to three different advisors before they confirmed this, though!). Your letter should say tuition fee: '0.00' and about 2,300ish. Did you tick that you're eligible for an NHS bursary and that it's income-assessed? I'd phone up again - as lovely as he may have been, he's wrong!

They also don't need copies of the bursary - read back a few threads, I think PhoenixFortune and Juliewho were talking about this. Good luck sorting it out! :smile:

I went up for the open day earlier in March and although everything was lovely and everyone was so friendly, I just loved Sheffield so went with that in the end :tongue:

The visit day at Manchester was really helpful though, so if you're having trouble deciding I'd definitely recommend going to the next one! :smile:

Great that you've decided where you're going! I've just emailed the lady at Manchester to say I'll be at the open day on the 25th April. I think I'll probably end up firming Sheffield too though the way things are looking!! Are you doing A Levels now? Good luck if you are, maybe see you in September!!

I'm still waiting to hear from Leeds Met. Not had anything from them at all yet!

According to the UCAS website, if applications are received by 15th Jan (which mine was) then universities should 'aim' to have replied to all applicants by 31st March - tomorrow. So fingers crossed we'll hear soon!!!
