New Website Gives Advice To Students And Families
A website to help give advice to students and their families on the financial support available to them has been launched.
The site, www.studentfinanceni.co.uk, will also have the facility for students to apply for their financial support on-line and will give advice on new variable tuition fees and student support arrangements, which come into effect in September 2006.
It was formally launched by Angela Smith, Employment and Learning Minister, who highlighted the importance of increasing awareness of and access to, the new student finance arrangements: "The website launched today will provide greater opportunity for students to make informed choices about where they study, the costs they are likely to incur and the amount of student support available.
"This reflects my commitment that potential students should not be deterred from applying to higher education because they don't understand how the new arrangements in relation to fees, loans, grants and bursaries will affect them."
The launch took place at a meeting of key stakeholders including student representatives, universities and colleges, the Education and Library Boards, other government departments and the Student Loans Company.
