Student Finance Applications - Q & A

Guys, am I the only one that gets this error message?!

Also, is it really easier to do it on paper? I'm on a gap year and going travelling soon so they can't have my passport, as someone said they need to send it in or something. I'm so confused!

I'd just do it online. If you do it online then you just enter your passport details and they check it out from that. By paper you have to send off some kind of proof of ID, so your passport or something similar.

If you don't have children or a partner that you live with, then say no! Because you don't want to support their application if you don't have any :tongue:

Well you won't get any money till September anyway, if you're starting then. They are RUTHLESS though. If your circumstances change they WILL chase you for money.

You will fill it in for Year 2007-2008, However you can tell student finance that he currently doesn't have a job etc, and they should be able to help you.
