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

Who else did not realise you have to apply for student finance every year!

Going into my second year at Cardiff University and had no idea that we have to apply for student finance every year! I just assumed it was the one application for the whole course, I was never told by anyone it was a yearly thing. I am going to be way late getting my money this term now!

Who else made the same mistake? :tongue:

I've seen it on the website, it says you have to create a new application every year.

Which website? As I am with Student Finance Wales and couldn't see anything on there. There are quite a few of my welsh mates who made the same mistake too.

It says it on the Student Finance England website, not sure about the Welsh one sorry!

The year of application on the form is a give away....

Took 30 seconds to find this.
