Increase Students Loans for Students Living in Bristol
Background
As of late, it has been seen across the news that Bristol has become one of the least affordable cities in the UK. Raising the basic student maintenance loan for low-income Bristol students from £10,830 to the ‘Living at home and studying in London’ threshold would benefit a lot of students greatly.
Additional details
For Parliament to review this matter considering current funding for students fails to cover soaring living and accommodation expenses, leaving students without a maintenance loan to ‘maintain’ their living.
