  11. How do I pay my university costs? Money paid into student’s bank account at the beginning of each term. *Important to budget* Amount you are entitled to is based on: • where the student will be living. • Household Income Maintenance (living cost) Loan

  12. Maintenance (Living Cost) Loan You do not need to take out the full loan you are entitled to, you can specify the amount you want.

  13. How do I pay my university costs? Sometimes given out by universities, companies or charities. This is not paid back Scholarships and Bursaries

  14. Paying it back • Not paid back until April after course finishes . • Only if the student is earning over £21,000 a year ~ £1,750 a month. • Pay back 9% of everything earned over £21,000. Taken directly from earnings. How much will I pay back? £24,000 a year = £23 a month • Interest £21,00-£41,000 =Inflation + up to 3% (the interest rises 0.00015% for every extra pound you earn over £21,000. So you earn £1,000 more, you accrue 0.15% extra interest) Over £41,000 = Inflation + 3% Wiped after 30 years!

  15. Am I likely to pay it all back? Even those who start on higher salaries are unlikely to pay it all back with interest. Students might as well take the higher maintenance (living cost) loan.
