    You will probably have to apply based on your parents income being assessed

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It appears you may not be entitled to BTEA either, therfore it will be difficult for you to finance your time at college?

    you are under 23 so not a mature student - You may be entitled to a grant but it would be assessed on your parents income
