Higher Education Funding

Students and their parents can be worried about the cost of Higher Education not only the course fees, but also course materials and living expenses.

Whether studying part-time or full time for a HND, degree or diploma, a range of financial support is available to help students fund their study. This can include

  • Student loans
  • Help with tuition fees
  • Specialist grants to assist with childcare
  • Support for students with disabilities or learning difficulties.

Cumbria County Council provides information and advice about Higher Education Funding (external link).
