Reapplying for student loan?

Leeum · 22 Apr 2009 at 23:44

I'm a stage 1 student at present, but haven't had any e-mails/ letters about reapplying for next years student loan.

Does anyone know when we need to reapply for it?

Cheers

Not sure im 100% sure what your talking about...

If your starting or continuing a course in september / october of this year then you should be applying now...(I am anyways)

Online renewals are really easy

Oh right - I was expecting a letter to say: "If you're continuing next year, please reapply by...". I will get onto it asap.

Cheers

There was a letter. I've already had confirmation of what money I'm getting for stage 2. Also yay, they are using my parents money figures from last year

Surely you are on a wage though?

Yes? but it still goes on parents money figures when applying for the grant / loan doesnt it?

Since you won't be working the year you're at university, surely they should only be looking at your parents income and any projected income you wil have in that year? Or do they ignore any income you fill in for personal work income assuming that you won't be working at a full time course anyway?

I always thought the amount you pay to the uni when on a placement year is significantly less that a normal year?

Yeah it is. I think mine is about half the amount. I also think I get less of a loan too. I remember seeing some figures for it last year.

I have a placement interview tomorrow morning!! :eek:
