Written for students and their advisers, the Student Support and Benefits Handbook is the definitive annual guide to all aspects of financial support for students. Produced in conjunction with the National Union of Students, this popular guide to student finance and benefit entitlement in England, Wales and Northern Ireland has been fully updated for the 2019/20 academic year, and covers the range of grants and loans available in all three countries - for full-time and part-time students, young people in further education, postgraduates and those studying vocational courses. It also includes information on the benefits available while in education, how student income affects entitlement, and what happens in vacations and if a student takes time out from their course. No one advising students should be without a copy of this book.
