i was accepted today to study beauty at college so happy apart from the fact i have to finhd 150 pounds roughly for my uniform and kit then roughly 1500 for my tuition fees! i was so happy and now i dont no how im going to pay for it!!

any advice will be welcomed! im currently off sick from work but am not going to be going back there
 
Most banks offer career development loans, where you don't start paying until the end of your course. They're not like student loans however where you only pay when you're earning, it's a standard loan just at a better rate and with a deferred time for when you start to pay back. Failing that a credit card or overdraft if you have no savings?

Some courses let you pay termly, would this be possible so you have longer to find the rest of the money?

Finally if it were me I'd be hitting ebay with old clutter. Most maternity wear for example sells for £5-£15 (more for designer like Isabella Oliver) per piece, or bundles of baby clothes might make £10 a bundle. Old toys sell quite well too. It might not seem like much but you only need 150 sales at £10 a go to get your tuition fees together. Old DVDs, CDs and games can be sold on Amazon. I've had a big clearout recently to raise some baby funds, and I've made over £1200 in both October and November just with old clutter, nothing special or particularly valuable, so it might be time to have a good rummage for things you don't need that will finance your new life.
 
Just to add that colleges have a fund which students can apply to if they are struggling financially. It used to be the Access to Learning Fund although the name has changed but it does the same job.
Of course it would all depend upon your circumstances and household income but it's worth a try - all you have to do is fill out a form at your college.
 
they wont help me fund college as ive already completed a level 2 in the past. i have been to banks but they wont fund me as i am going to be carrying on at college after level 2 to do my level 3 :(
 
You could apply for a credit card, they usually give you checks when you sign up that you can use to balance transfer or what have you. How long do you have (sorry if you have mentioned that and I have forgotten already)?
