Fees & Funding
Your higher education study is an investment in your future. Even though the costs of higher education can seem daunting, there are funding options available to you to take away the financial pressure of studying a higher education qualification.
Don't let the cost of funding your higher education journey put you off.
Our dedicated HE Admissions Team can help you with any questions you may have about fees and student finance.
You will need to budget for accommodation, bills and food if you are moving away from home. Student loans provide a calculator to help you predict how much maintenance loan you could be awarded: https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator
Transport can be another cost for you to consider. You may prefer to pay upfront for a termly or yearly bus or rail pass rather than drive. Take a look at student bank accounts as some offer travel discounts as an incentive to open an account with them.
Some courses incur other costs such as materials fees, specialist equipment, field trips or enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks.
The links below are guides on how the student finance process works and how to get your application started.
Even if student finance seems complicated we are here to support you every step of the way. Please email us at HEAdmissions@sgscol.ac.uk if you have any questions and we will be happy to help you.
