No money to even start university :(



[INDENT]I've been accepted into Swansea metropolitan university doing photography in the arts.
Having family issues at home, I moved away from home and apply for an independent student loan.
This went off quite late and it's still being processed. I don't have £250 for a deposit on accommodation and need £500 in my student bank account (barclays) before I can even apply for an overdraft which ill need when my money comes in late :/
not sure what to do as I'm not getting any help from home and have no money coming in.


Advice please?[/INDENT]

Hi Shann,

Sorry to hear about your family problems. One thing you could do is phone Swansea Met and see if they offer hardship funding, most Universities offer this for people in your situation. I go to Swansea Met myself but don't know much about what they offer in terms of bursaries and funding. They are very friendly there so ask them if you could go in and talk to them (face to face may be better for you).

Wish you luck!

Any queries about Swansea Met, feel free to contact me,

Ash

I'm pretty sure Swansea Met offers a Distance Travel Bursary. It's around £500. But your home address has got to be around 45 miles away for you to qualify. I hope that helps :smile:

If you need an Overdraft then Llyods does a student one for £500 and all you need is your UCAS conformation letter. Set up in a couple of days so you should have it in time.

It progresses to £1500 after a certain amount of time too.
