Student Finance Applications - Q & A

Hey, couple of quick questions.

The deadline is the 31st of May. Does this just mean me submitting my application without my parent sponsoring it or do both have to be done?

If I submit my application is there at any point i can make changes to it?

Also, I'll be studying at Imperial next year and i'll be living at home and I was aware that would allow me to be given roughly £7000 in a maintenance loan however they gave me an estimate of roughly 5000 pounds although i'm thinking that's because I haven't updated where i'll be staying during term time as I don't know exactly what the address is of the hall of residence i'll be put into in September. So yeah, just wanted to know does the estimate sometimes go up?

Thanks

Pretty sure that's with financial evidence, but you can make changes. The deadline is to make sure they have enough time to process applications and make sure you get your payment at the beginning of term.

The £5000 is without financial evidence (mine's saying that too - applied for Imperial) and I think they'll update it when they process financial evidence, but if it's not done by next week I'm planning to ring them.

What are you studying at Imperial by the way?

My parents are divorced, if the parent i'm living with is living with a partner who is supporting his own children instead of me, do I still need to put him down on the student finance application?

thanks in advance for your help

I think you want no for "Will your employer be releasing you...".

ah ok lol thanks. have i missed anything else out ??

hi just a quick one.

Towards the end of my application i get a break down of my loans which has "amount requested" and amount i'm entitled to.
For both maintenance and tuition loans it says "amount requested- maximum" (because thats what i want :P ) but for the maintenance grant it says "amount requested - N/A" even though im entitled to £3,250...does the N/A mean i wont get it or just that i cant request an amount and i get what im entitled to?...

Thanks for any help

It's the latter part - you can't request a grant, you will be assessed and given the amount you're entitled to.

Hi, if on my account, it sets out when I will be payed in installment's, i.e.

1/10/12- £1,000
1/02/13 £1,000

etc...

Does that mean everything is done and dusted now...?

By the way, on my evidence section, it says...

"We are not waiting on any evidence items".

But then it says below it...

"We have returned your original birth certificate with appropriate declaration".

Only, when I got it through the post, there was only my birth certificate in the letter!

Sorry if I confused anyone!

Arrrrr guys my application is already late and I'm stuck!!!!
I went to uni a few years ago for one year, but it was a mistake. I know your allowed one 'fail' year but now I apparently have to justify it and provide evidence???
I have the welsh authority forms and it askes why I left my last course and has an evidence logo, which refers to this:
"If you did not finish your course due to compelling personal reasons (which does not include reasons of academic performance alone), you must give full details in this section and send the necessary documentary evidence to support the reasons you give"

I outlined the fact that I persuded the wrong career path originally but should I say it's based on academic performance? Would you think that means I then DON'T need to provide evidence and if I should either way. WHAT evidence? Eeeeeeeeeeee

Please quote me if you have any ideas guys
