Will I get funding from SFE
I completed a 2 year course at South Thames College and was awarded a HNC/HND Diploma. I would like to do a top up course which is for 1 year at LSBU and get a Bachelor's Degree. But my question is, will I meet the criteria for funding from Student finance?
Based on how they work out the funding I believe I should be entitled to 1 year which would be my gift year but I could be wrong. Any help in this matter would be much appreciated especially if you are in a similar position.

Hi there,
Apart from the 2 years you've done, have you studied any other degree-level courses at all?
Thanks, Graeme

Hi Graeme,
Thanks for your reply. No I haven’t but good news I am entitled to funding. I had to break all this down in a letter I uploaded to SFE and they have approved funding as previously they had told me I was not eligible.
