Student Loans

Student loans were not invented in my days but we pi$$ed all the free money up the wall anyway

I can confirm tho' that the latest IR PAYE software does indeed look to recover the student loans, and if it's the same as PAYE then yes indeed! it will be credited once a year just like your tax is....

So who fancies another Labour government now?

However I have not yet worked out how that benefits me.............

how does one go about getting a bursary.? we are a young soon to be married couple who are both students, and a combined income of about £5000. a bursary would ease the money stress...

I think the Bursary is for his daughter, not Tut!

You would need kids first me thinks!

P.S Looking forward to seeing you two this weekend!

I think it is the illegal immigrants / neddy smackhead mothers of 4 and benefit fraudsters you should be more worried about funding than students.

And the bursary thing in my experience is another oft-fiddle scheme, mates of mine got them for having single parents (despite the parents being more than well off on their own)

Personally im happy to pay for the students, i was one for a start!
Ive got 5 other brothers and sisters and hope most of them will go to uni aswell and they couldn't possibly afford to do so if the government didnt pay their tution fees.

What i resent is the can work but wont work types. Tom will pay back his fair share in tax through his lifetime im confident of that!

A Bursary is based on the parents taxable income assuming that the student is not working and has no income.

If you qualify for the maximum, it means that with the max loan of around £4,800/annum, Clare will pay less than half of it back, the remainder is the Bursary and is not repayable.

In your case if you have no support from your parents, I presume that it would be based on your income.
