50,000 students could be without loans for start of term
October 5th, 2009 by admin
The Student Loans Company have said that between 50,000 and 60,000 students could start university without the grants or loans they applied for, The Telegraph reports.
The company said that the ’sheer pressure on the system’ has meant that students who applied late still haven’t had their applications processed.
So, in situations like these, how can students protect their finances?
Budgeting
Budgeting is all about understanding and controlling finances – basically keeping track of income and expenditure.
By budgeting, students should find it easier to keep track of where all their money is going each month, and work out where they could cut back so they can keep on top of their finances.
To create a budget, students should begin by working out their total income (the money they earn/receive each month), and then take away their total expenditure (the amount of money they spend each month).
However, this may actually be more difficult than it sounds. For example, although some costs (such as accommodation payments) may be easy to work out, other costs (such as food, petrol and utilities) may be more complicated to work out, as they can (and generally will) change each month.
