Money for higher education
Money for Higher Education
Most people borrow the money to pay for Higher Education tuition fees and living costs through a loan from Student Finance England.
You do not start making any payments until you are earning over £25000 per year. So if for example you were earning £30,000 per year you would pay back £37.50 per month.
You might also want to think about the place you are studying and the costs you will have to pay for accommodation, etc. This guide from the NatWest Bank has information on the most affordable cities for students.

Disabled Students Allowance
If you currently get extra support at school, you could be entitled to claim additional support for higher education. This allowance is called Disabled Students Allowance and exists to cover the study-related costs you have at higher education, because of a mental health problem, long term illness, specific learning difficulty or any other disability.
