If your son or daughter decides to go to university there is plenty of financial support available, meaning that no one should be put off going to university because of money worries.

How much does university cost?
Students starting their course in 2012 and 2013 will pay tuition fees of £9,000 a year. However, fees don't have to be paid before they go to university or while they are studying.

What help is on offer?
Every UK student can apply for a Tuition Fee and Maintenance Loan each year. These loans are designed to pay for tuition fees, living costs and course materials. From 2012, your son or daughter won't have to start paying their loan back until after they graduate and are earning over £21,000. 

Various types of funding is also available to UK students from low income family backgrounds, which never has to be paid back.

Scholarships and Bursaries
Each university offers their own scholarships and bursaries providing some students with additional financial support, which doesn't have to be paid back. More information can be found on the University's scholarships and bursaries pages.
