student loan questionnaire

UCAS: Should I know what student finance I am applying for by now?

I’ve applied for Cambridge and been sent a Fee Status Assessment Questionnaire which says:

Details of External Funding

If you will be applying to an organisation external to the University of Cambridge for any form of grant or loan to assist with payment of tuition fees, please give the name(s) of the organisation(s) to which you will be applying.

I don’t really know anything about student finance at the moment and we’ve only just been told about it in school yesterday. It also says in the Declaration that if you put any inaccurate or misleading information they can withdraw your offer. I don’t know what to put??

Any help would be great. Thanks :)

Ah, the Fee Status Questionnaire. That joyful little entity (I’m first Year at Cambridge, I remember the hell)

Don’t worry, they don’t want significant details at this point. Just put down Student Finance England as the name of the organisation. That’s all they want. At this point they simply want a guarentee that you’ll be able to pay your fees. All you have to do is tell them you’ll be applying for student Finance via Student Finance England. They will know all about how it works, and that will satisfy them

This form is mainly so they can just check that everyone is planning to pay fees via Student Finance England, and so that if some people are not using a student loan, the University can check how they will be paying their fees.

All you need to do is put Student Finance England. The forms you will get sent for Cambridge are pathetically worded, and all of them seem to need more information than they actually do.

Good luck with your application! :)

(When you say Cambridge, I do hope you mean Queens’ College. The Place to be you know :P )

student loan bubble

Will the student loan bubble cause tuition prices to drop?

Unfortunately, some people think everyone should go to college…………..

While good intentioned the consequences are bad. Students are graduating with a worthless degree and tens of thousands of dollars in debt.

Colleges need to be at least partly on the hook for lending they facilitate. It would give them an incentive to lend responsibly if they could be liable when unqualified students fail to graduate and end up defaulting. ?°)
