Student Case Study - Yvonne It's easy to let money worries stop you fulfilling your career ambitions but you might be surprised by how much help is available once you look into it.Degree student Yvonne certainly was:"I couldn't believe how much funding and financial support I was able to access. In the end it turned out that I was better off than I had been trying to juggle a part-time job and childcare. If I'd only spent some time researching the financial side of things better, I wouldn't have waited so long to do my degree."
