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

Just need a lil informed advice

If sum1 dropped out of first year, and then when he/she would be in third year, this late on in the year, wanted to start from scratch in another city - would that be possible? or is it too late to start an application? my situation is a little worse that this but thats the general quandary!

Woah

You make the application through ucas.com

The Student Loan is the money you get for living expenses. The amount you get is decided by how much you/your parents own and other circumstances
The Tuition Fees (3K 3070 this coming year) can be paid off through a loan from your Local Education Authority. To find out how to apply and apply for it online (if you wish), go to studentsupportdirect.co.uk

You can make a paper application through your LEA. There is a list of LEAs on the above website

No you still have enough time - they normally accept applications until the end of august. However, as you already will have recieved money from the Government in the year that you dropped out, you may no longer be eligible for any further loans or grants. You will need to organise a meeting with someone from the Student Finance Office of your LEA (or local council depending where it is based). Hope this helps.

You get loans for everything nowadays, apart from accomodations costs

What was your course for before? If it was a healthcare one maybe the NHS paid for it? Either that or your LEA did without you realising. As I understand the system now, a fees loan goes straight onto that right?

Get the phone number for your LEA - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/EducationAndLearning/UniversityAndHigherEducation/StudentFinance/ApplyingForFinance-NewStudents/DG_10034854 - and go from there

Old rules students were able to get a fee grant.
Under current regulations, nobody gets fee grants. There is a loan for tuition fees added to the total cost of your loan at the end. Or you get the maintenance grant (£2700) which you can use to pay fees and possible bursaries from uni. Also maintenance loan for living costs. There's no reason why you can't go.
