students......?

[reallytinyamy]

I'm looking for some help on what/if any financial help I may be entitled to if I go into eduction rather then work.

eg, if I went to work I would be entitled to help with childcare costs....if I went to college/uni 16 hours a week would I still be entitled?

Does anyone have any links that might help me.......please.......?

I only know about full time study which sometimes is not everyday at uni. You could get 85% of childcare fees paid as well as a parents learning allowance which I think is means tested. Also you might qualify for a student maintainence grant. I think you still might be entilted to child tax credits and then of course ur child benefit.
