Hi there,

Can you confirm if you're in your final year 25/26 a/y? Are you under 25? Are you parents supporting your application?

Thanks,
Claire

Hey.

I'm currently going into my second year. I am 18! My parents are supporting my application.

All the same as last year with my parents supporting so I'm not sure why I'm getting less.

Did your parents support your application after the amount was awarded?

Nope. It was done before the amount was awarded.

Thank you. It's maybe due to their income changing between the academic years. If you want to start a live chat with us in your online account (from 8.am) we'll be able to check this and help you further. Thanks, Jason
