Scholarships for low income families

Hi, so I have a dilemma. I really need a laptop but I cannot afford one. I need one for the summer holidays because I have tons of work to do. Is there any possible scholarships or grants I could access that would help me with this?
Oh and btw when I mean low income family, I mean below £15,000 a year, we cannot afford a laptop.

Hi @SSS234574

Have you applied for Student Finance yet? There is a hardship fund to help those eligible and from low-income families to get some help. I've added the link below and a couple other places you can have a look at to see what you could apply to. If you have applied for Student Finance but didn't know about the hardship fund, I believe you can amend it so that you can recieve more help. I'd recommend contacting Student Finance on the gov.uk and ask for advice and support about anything you're not sure about

Let me know if you need anything else.

I would have a look online, if not this is probably something your school could help support you in. It is also the summer holidays and you are old enough to work so getting a part time job could help you finance a basic laptop to get work done on.
The only other thing I can suggest is possibly finding a local library.
