I'm an independent student well I will be once I start University in September 2013. At the current moment I have a few ISA's and normal Savings which are not ISA's My normal savings total to about £5000. I was told my maintenance loan won't be affected but this will affect my maintenance grant will be. Does anyone know to the extent this might affect my future maintenance grant? Any reply would be greatly appreciated.
I know it does ask about savings; but can't find out whether and how your grant will be affected. You'd probably have to have a much bigger amount in savings than what you say you have.
Oh yeah I'll definitely declare my savings. I haven't had a clear answer from student finance though. All they said was that it would possibly affect my maintenance grant. I'd hate for my savings to be wiped out!
