    If you're income is that low, and there are dependent children etc etc you will get the grant- the amount will vary. Most colleges have a student assistance fund also available through an access office etc generally

    Ask the college about the student assistance fund
    Also some local partnership organisations might give small grants (e.g. Bray Partnership etc)

    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.
