Help with Financial Declaration Form?

I've just discovered a 'financial declaration form' from the college I applied to which has to arrive there by the 31st of July, and realised two things:

Ignoring/torching important correspondence is not wise.

And: I don't actually know which of these boxes I'm supposed to tick. It says: "Please tick the boxes as appropriate" and the options are:

1 - I have applied to my LEA for financial support

2 - I am from another EU member state and have applied to the DfES for public funding

3 - I enclose a copy of my Financial Assessment form

4 - My financial assessment form shows that the government will pay .... towards the £3070 university tuition fee on my behalf

5 - My financial assessment form shows that I will be paying the £3070 University Tuition fee myself.

6 - I am and overseas student.. (etc.)

I'm a UK citizen, and I'm getting a loan from the Student Loans company to pay the tuition fee; does that mean I choose point 5, as at the end of the day it is me paying the tuition fee, or point 1 because - don't we all apply to our LEAs for financial support anyway? Thanks for any help!

Its box 1, You have applied through your LEA to the student loans company, and they will pay your tuition fees directly to the university.

dont worry, getting an offer is the hard bit, for the vast majority, the results are way above what they need anyway :smile:

if it says tick all that apply, then tick 1, cos you have applied to your LEA, 4 if you've applied for a tuition fee loan (since the government pays that directly to the university- your college isn't interested in what arrangement you have with them to pay it back), and 3 if you have your financial assessment thingy to hand and can send a photocopy.

Ahh, okay. Yes except it said 1, and then: OR
and listed the others. So i think it probably is just 1 ? But thanks again for the help.
