The Advice and Counselling Service has published its latest Money Tips edition. Find out about support for estranged students, reapplying for Student Finance 2019/2020 and what to do if you’ve paid too much income tax.
#QMULMoneyTips
Some tips from the Advice and Counselling Service:
The tax year ended on 5 April. If you did any work in the 2018-19 tax year, it is a good idea to check whether you paid too much tax on your income. If so, you can claim this back. Our Part-time work guide explains how to check and how to reclaim any overpayments.
Continuing students need to reapply for Student Finance for the next academic year – don’t wait for SFE to contact you. You can apply now, or by June at the latest to make sure your application will be processed in time for September. Contact a Welfare Adviser if you need any help reapplying.
We have updated our Undergraduate Funding guide with the 2019/20 Maintenance Loan and QMUL Bursary rates.
We have a web page about the support that is available for estranged students, including how to apply for Student Finance as an independent student and applying to QMUL for a grant to help you pay towards your rent over the summer vacation. We have a similar web page for students who have been in the care of a Local Authority.
