Dh's son, who lives elsewhere in the UK with his mother (and her new husband)is applying for University places (in England, I think).
It's a very long time since I was at University, and I'm a bit confused about who pays what!
Tuition fees- used to be free, now, how much? Is it means tested , and if so who is tested? Will we be asked to stump up? (We already pay about £3000 pounds per year maintenance- voluntary, not court order, if it makes any difference).
Living expenses- I used to get a grant, now it's a loan, I believe. Again, is that dependent on what parent/ parents earn, and do we have to contribute/ guarantee loan in anyway?
BTW, I'm quite happy to pay our share if required, but it would be nice to be prepared!
