Evaluating costs
Even with financial support, it is likely that you will have to pay some costs yourself. You may have to pay for travel, accommodation and part of the course fee yourself. Find out what is and isn’t covered by your scholarship or financial support scheme.
Financial difficulties
The right time to look for financial support is before you enrol on your course. It can be very hard to find funding, particularly mid-way through the academic year.
If you experience financial difficulties during your course, please visit UKCISA’s website. They offer lots of detailed information and a student advice telephone service.
