One of the biggest concerns expressed by potential adult learners is finance - how to pay for learning and support yourself, and any dependents, while you study.
|
Financial help may be available but it varies greatly depending on:
- the type and level of course
- whether the course is full time or part time
- your own circumstances, including any benefits you receive
The rules relating to finance can be complex and are subject to change. It can be difficult to get a grasp of what funding you might be entitled to.
To help adult learners, EGSA produce a series of finance factsheets, which give an overview of what financial support may be available. The factsheets cover full and part time study and further and higher education.
You can also speak in confidence to one of EGSA’s experienced advisers. They can help you look at your options and decide what might best suit your learning plans and personal circumstances.
For further information on financial support for higher education, you could also visit the website of Student Finance NI. The website provides advice and support for students and potential students who normally live in Northern Ireland.
