You should be able to get a loan to cover your tuition fees, and one to cover your living expenses. I'm not quite sure what else you mean, but if you are from a household which falls below a certain income band you will be eligible for non-repayable grants and perhaps bursaries from the vet schools. I think most also offer scholarships for exceptional candidates but I wouldn't pin your hopes on getting one because sometimes you can be unpleasantly surprised with uni's decisions. Certainly it wouldn't be realistic to expect to fund your studies from a scholarship, or any other means unless you are a mature student who has worked in a well paid job for several years and saved like a monk the whole time. Tution fees are £3000 a year and living cost loans vary between £2800 and £4500 a year, so all in all a veterinary medicine degree would cost you in the region of £29,000 and £45,000 depending on whether you do the extra year at Cambridge. Most people are not expected to have access to such a colossal amount of money before they start studying so the idea is you pay it back when you are in a job and earning over £15,000.

1) Marry well
2) Borrow it all from Natwest- their specialist veterinary account is excellent and the staff fall over themselves to help you. also cheap travel insurance and good overdraft.

Don't forget you'll need to fund books and notes, upto £200/year, equipment-steth £100, parlour top, scissors, head torches...and a car and petrol for EMS and clinical years. I think everywhere but liverpool funds a few of these costs.
