Open Honour maintenance loans and childcare grants for existing weekend students

Created by Andreea Raduca
Closes on

To allow existing students to continue studying weekends with student finance loans and grants for the rest of their studies. The Government should allow us as students to continue our studies in weekends with funding as we signed up for it that way.

Some students in my university work weekdays and this new decision from the government that they won't finance us is not ideal. It means many people won't be able to study weekends. It took me more then 1 year to find a workplace to be able to work weekdays so that I can attend weekends. But now when the change will be put in place I will lose my job. This needs to be re-evaluated to allow the students that signed up for the weekends to finish what they signed for.
