    Hey Everyone,

    Iv been out of the loop of college grants courses ect since 2009....iv been working /travelling since.

    Im 25 and im returning to education to fulfill my long delayed career. Iv decided to apply part time as i dont know how id pay my rent , bill ect without a job and I dont have that facility to rely on parents now...i had that chance :rolleyes:

    I live with my boyfriend, but I couldnt rely on him to pay all as he is international and struggling to work for his own studies. I would love to go full time but i dont know if the options there...maybe if i get a grant?? (Im irish born too)

    for now im looking at part time

    I see and here about so many different grants now, i have no idea what one to apply for,

    Id much apriciate anyone's advice and help in my situation.

    Thanks so much :)

    There isn't really grants available for part time courses.

    You can claim tax back on fees hut that's about it.

    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.
