Careers Adviser commentStruggling with the idea of living with student loans, tuition fees and a mountainof living expenses? Perhaps it’s putting you off going to uni altogether. But don’tdespair or give up until you’ve given this one a try. Of course there isn't enoughfinance for everyone, but there is money on offer out there. You can find what’savailable in the form of grants or scholarships, info on how the loan schemeworks, managing your finances and tips on how to apply for funding. There’s alsoa section for employers or others to offer scholarships, finance or help.www.thescholarshiphub.org.uk www.gov.uk/extra-money-pay-university www.scholarship-search.org.uk www.arkwright.org.uk (ENGINEERING)
