    hey roccab,
    i'm in the same boat as you are, its so f****n confusing!! :)
    i've literally spent hours online looking into this topic and i'm still not 100% sure but as far as i can tell we are eligible for our tuition fees to be paid (which is pretty sound cos there like 9000 pounds a year!) but we can't get any of the bursaries. however, you can apply for a maintenance grant from your own county council which will "follow" you to the uk. another problem is that we will have to fly over and back to the uk 5 times for our uni interviews which is not going to be cheap! :'(
