Hey guys

Sorry if its already been asked, im in my final year and like all students am starting to look at what im gonna do afterwards

Im looking at going on and doing a masters. I have received the full adjacent grant during all my 3 years in college. Just wondering what with all the budget cuts in the past etc, would i be entitled to some sort of financial assistance to do this masters?

Thanks a million in advance

2000 towards fees or upto 6270 towards fees if you get the special rate grant

Of course the budget on Tuesday may cut this again

Sorry i just meant, because ive already been getting a grant for my undergraduate degree that there might be a 'cooling off period' of maybe a few years before i could apply for another grant for a masters

There is no cooling off period

There is a rule that you cannot change your status from dependent to independent mature student unless there is a three year break in studies.

So

As long as you are still being assessed on your parents income I dont see an issue
