Hi Guys,
I'm new here as Ive only recently decided that I will apply for a university place for 2011!!!!
Im only 23, and graduated 2 years ago with a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. As I came from Ireland and was not a UK citizen, I was not entitled to any UK student loans or government funding (my parents and I paid my tuition fees together yearly!) so I have never been funded for a degree before.
I am now going to apply for a nursing degree and as I have been living in the UK for over 5 years now, I have been amde aware that I am entitled to UK government funding for study, however I've also been told that I'm NOT entitled to it as this would be my second degree.
What im trying to ask here (very difficulty lol) is will I be entitled to student funding for my second degree (in nursing) as I never obtained any funding for my first degree?? Any help would be appreciated soooooo much!! Thank you very much in advancexxxxxxxxxxxxx

Again, I have to disagree with the SFE advice here.
You have detailed you are going onto a Nursing degree, and have been resident for 5 years. Provided you are in receipt of an income-assessed NHS bursary, you will be entitled to a reduced rate maintenance loan from Student Finance England. -

Although the reason SFE aren't saying this is they aren't allowed to discuss individual cases on here, only general queries. I feel sorry for the people who have to answer to TSR on SF's behalf lol! -

Seriously, just read my advice, and it'll save you the phone call and the cost. You could donate the equivalent cost of the call to my beer fund.
