More details

The government needs to help students as many are struggling with accommodation costs. The grant would assist students with rent costs as they pay between £4,000-£8,000 in advance which adds to their debts. The Maintenance Grant is designed to help with living costs such as rent, food and travel. Unlike the Maintenance Loan, you do not have to pay back the money you receive
