Budgeting for Students

Every year approximately 40,000 people, mainly in their late teens, apply for university places. Few are aware of the financial problems they will encounter. The traditional grant is being reduced and students must increasingly face having to fund themselves, mainly through loans. To many parents of younger students the cost of their contribution seems alarming. This book is a practical guide to sources of funds, budgeting, borrowing and saving for students of every kind, including sixth formers, university students and distance learners.
