    hey i went to private collage for a year but i did mine part time, and i was on Job seekers, if she was already on jobseekers for a certain amount of time she could then go on BTEA , private collages suck for getting grants or any kind of help tbh :/

    You can't get BTEA for most private colleges. The college has to be on a list of approved institutions which you will find here

    Tax can be claimed back but only by an employee so if your friend isn't working she can't claim it back herself. But ANYONE can claim it back on her behalf once they pay the fees. So if for example her parent or friend or even me paid the fees for we could then claim the taxback

    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.

    She has never been on jobseekers she have always worked so is she entitled to Jobseekers even though shes in full time education?

    And thanks for the link for tax relief I know her sister could claim it back for her

    No. You can't get jobseekers if you are in full time education.
