Money Matters

Are financial constraints making your progression into Higher Education a distant dream? Well, we have some exciting news for you…

In line with its mission to be a world class, customer focused and dynamic provider of education and skills, the Grimsby Institute of Further & Higher Education is proud to offer industry leading Higher Education courses with exceptionally low fees. For example full-time students can enjoy fees of just £2,400* per annum, this is £890.00 less that the new government variable fees – which escalate up to £3,290 per annum.

This fantastic rate; combined with bursaries awarded by the Institute, as well as the additional government support available, makes studying at the Institute a realistic and highly attractive option for people wanting to invest in their future.

Studying part time is also an option and you can combine work and study. Government funding is also available. Fees vary dependant on the intensity you wish to study. For further information please contact the Institute’s Higher Education Admissions and Adminstration Office on 0800 328 3631.

FINANCIAL HELP AVAILABLE

There is plenty of financial support available to students whilst studying full-time at the Institute; this includes student loans, a £2906 non-repayable grant, council tax relief and also a Grimsby Institute bursary.

There is also additional help for students with disabilities, children or adult dependants.

The figures quoted are based upon the latest available which is for the academic year 2010/11; updated figures will be available on our website when they become available alternatively visit the student finance website www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance.

Haven’t yet applied for your student loans and grants?

If you live in England and are starting a university course in September 2010, but haven't yet applied for your student loans and grants, you need to take action immediately. Go online today at www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance and complete your student finance application as soon as possible. Don't leave it any longer. The sooner you apply, the more likely you are to have all your money in place for the start of term.

Your application is only completed when you have done all of the following:

• SUPPLY EVIDENCE - you must send all of the evidence Student Finance England ask for immediately – this may include financial evidence for 2008-09 from your parents, step-parents or your parents’ partners;
• SIGN AND RETURN ONLINE DECLARATION FORM - once you've submitted your application online, Student Finance England will send you a form by post called the 'Online Declaration Form' which you must sign and return.

If you've already completed your student finance application, you don’t need to do anything further at this stage.

Don't forget, your maintenance loans and grants will be paid in 3 instalments, one at the beginning of each term; but only once you register on your course. Your Tuition Fee Loan is paid directly to us on your behalf
