Extra help - children and adult dependants

Hello there I'm a mature single mum looking to return to my final year of Bioscience degree. I began my course in 2000 and studied for two years, then had a gap year and resumed in 2003/2004 a I then became pregnant, so had to stop study - so up I too 2004 I had received 2 full years of student loan and one payment for 2003/2004.
I applied again to complete course 2008/2009 and unfortunately due to a very messy divorce and subsequent depression,, I had taken on far too much attempting to resume studies, so had to stop again . I received first payment only.

Fast forward to 2016 and I am in a much better place, my child has started secondary school and I wish to carry on with my studies and finish my degree and go on to teach. I just want to know I'd before applying, I am entitled to any financial assistance. Thank you

Hi emma
What income threshold is the limit for parenting loan and childcare grant?

Hi Emma, I'm quite new to all this, but I heard that from September 2016 we will no longer be able to get grants we will have to apply for loans. Is this correct?

Hi, does anyone know whether I am likely to be eligible for a childcare grant from SFE? I'm hoping to start adult nursing in september and have 5 children, 3 of whom I will need to pay for childcare with an average cost of £150 per week. My husband earns £30,500 per year(before tax). We currently get tax credits but won't be able to claim childcare costs through them as I won't be working. According to the nhs bursary calculator I will be eligible for a reasonable bursary and maintenance loan but childcare will more or less use all of that up if I can't get a childcare grant, can't find any info anywhere that shows what kind of thresholds are in place for childcare grant. Thanks in advance for any info anybody can give me. x

I am planning to apply the nursery for my daughter next year.
This independant (Exeter Cathedral school) is inspected by the Independent Schools' Inspectorate (ISI) who reported to the Department for Education. The ISI is the body approved by the Secretary of State for the purpose of inspecting school belonging to the Independant School Council Assosiations and reporting on compliance with the Education (Independant School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010.
I am currently entitled to get the childcare grant with an Ofsted Nursery. Am I Entitled to get childcare grant if we change to this independant school in the same circumstances next year?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm 23. I was born 22th April 1992, so when I start the Uni I will be 24. (I'm applying this year). I came to UK in 2011 and originally I come from one of the EU countries.
I also have 2 year old child. I want to ask what I can get, am I get full loan for my studies (9000 per year) and what kind of grants will I get? When do I need to apply for student finance?

Hi Emma,

If there is please can you point me in the right direction with links to apply or to forms.
