The basics of financial support at university?

My family has an income of 38000 (pre tax), so what financial support am I eligible for? Am I correct in thinking I can get a bursary of £1000, and then what would the maintainance grant allow? Am I right in thinking that it would be 4000? What about other support and the student loan?
I’m interested in studying in London, Imperial.

Most university web sites have this information. Otherwise you may visit university open days and ask from the student counsel.
If you are thinking of a teaching career you may get up to £9000 per year if you are prepared to do Science or Maths. For most of the subjects they give £6000 per year on top of tuition fees.

I got a student loan of £5000 from HSBC when I did my masters degree but ended up paying £8000 back as they added repayment insurance charge on top of interest. Do not fall into that trap.
I think career development loan would be a good option. But you may have to get that organised through the university.

is there a way to find out what my gross and net income was for 2007?

i need the info for my college grant application. I moved and cant find my tax papers.

You are going to need your tax documents anyway so talk to whoever prepared your taxes and get a copy

College Grants For Single Mothers In Canada

Every country will agree to the fact that the women require adequate education to move ahead in life, especially the mothers. Single mothers have special needs as they are the only support to their family and kids. Money, time and confidence are three obstacles in their path to acquire education. Canada, like any other country, has identified these problems and hence, has started college grants for single mothers in Canada.

The Canadian government realizes the problems faced by single mothers and has started various grants to help the mothers cope with the problems by providing required education for them. Like in the United States, to apply for federal grants in Canada, one needs to apply it through the FAFSA centre. The FAFSA is an online centre set up for receiving the applications for the federal and state grants. The applicants usually need to submit their previous year’s tax records as it is the eligibility criterion for receiving the grants.

The latest feature regarding the college grants for single mothers is the Canada Student Grants program (CSGP) which has clubbed the various federal student grants into a single program and is earnestly trying to reach out to single mothers who like to pursue their studies. This new program helped 245,000 students in the academic year 2009-2010 and is very easy to apply for. Some of the grants under this program have been listed below:

1) Canada Student Grant for Persons from Low-Income Families: This grant provides $250 per month to students of low-income household who also are eligible for a federal student loan, and is available to undergraduate and college school program.

2) Canada Student Grant for Persons from Middle-Income Families: As the name suggests, this is granted to a middle-income class student also qualifying for a federal loan. The selected student will receive $100 per month of study.

3) Canada Student Grant for Persons with Permanent Disabilities: This grant is only for those students who are handicapped or crippled. The state offers $2000 every academic year for these students to cover their education costs and tuitions.

4) Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Persons with Permanent Disabilities: Those handicapped students who face exclusive expenses for interpreters or tutors are provided $8000 annually from the state.

5) Canada Student Grant for Persons with Dependents: This grant is exclusive for mothers. $200 per month of study is provided to them for each child which they have under 12 years of age.

6) Canada Student Grant for Part-Time Students with Dependents: This is for single mothers who are pursuing part-time education. For every child under 12 years of age, the single mother is entitled to $40 per week of study. Single mothers with three or more children are entitled for $60 per week.

7) Canada Student Grant for Part-Time Studies: This scholarship is only for part-time students. The state grants up to $1200 per school year for the eligible part-time students.

The Government of Canada is very keen on its CSGP and realizes the marked changes this program has brought about in the lives of the deserving students, who are only held back due to the financial crisis. College grants for single mothers in Canada is becoming a reality and this can observed from the improved lives of the mothers.

Pell Grant Application Online

Should I attend UCSB or a community college?

So, I just got accepted into UC Santa Barbara, which I am very excited about, however I have been seriously considering attending community college for my first two years of college and then transferring to a UC because I will save so much money.

The classes at UCSB will be different than classes at a community college. Are you sure you will stay focused in community college to transfer? Some kids have a problem staying focused (it’s kind of not the *real* thing for them, like the real thing is happening in 2 years), and wish they had started off at a 4 yr college.

Also, are you sure you will be able to be transferred into UCSB in 2 years? Why not wait and see what happens with financial aid. Get all the info for community college, but also take a trip and hang out at UCSB. Where will you be enthused to succeed?

But if you don’t get enough financial aid for UCSB, just promise yourself you won’t slack in community college and you will keep your goal of going to UCSB.

Besides, have you seen the environment at UCSB?!

Good luck!

When Can I Start Applying for College Grants?

Hello, I am a senior in high school and have not been accepted to any colleges yet.

L to L:

Grants come from three sources, the federal government, your state, or your school. You will be considered for all grant programs that you are eligible for – as part of the aid analysis that the financial aid office will perform once they have received the results of your FAFSA application.

You may want to check with your high school guidance department, just to make sure that there aren’t additional steps that you may need to take to gain eligibility for any available state grants. In California, for example, applicants for Cal Grants must ensure that their school provides GPA verification to the California Student Aid Commission – and in Florida, a Bright Futures hopeful must sign up for the program before graduating from high school. If there are similar programs in your state, there may be separate steps that you’ll need to complete – and your counselor can explain those to you.

But yes – you’re already covered for “grants” – that’s part of the FAFSA process.

Good luck!
