Springboard Eligibility

chococobs

I'm in a postgraduate course at the moment and I've recently found out that nearly everyone in the class has come here through Springboard. I paid the full fees since I had inquired about eligibility and they turned me away since I was in part time employment at the time.

My situation is:
Completed undergraduate degree in May 2013.
Worked part-time from December 2013 to September 2014.
Started the course I'm in at the moment in September 2014.

There are several people in very similar situations to this who had their fees paid by Springboard in full. Can anyone shed any light on whether I could have had my fees paid by Springboard? I feel like I got screwed over by spending several thousand when it might not have been necessary. I just want to gather some information here before I call them directly.

Thanks

That's a real kick in the teeth as something similar happened to me.

AFAIK you can't get Springbaord fees retrospectively.
You have to apply and be approved through the Springboard website.
