GETTING A GRANT
Who can get this money? Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.

Banking: Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts. A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. 38. D) 39. C) 40. C)
