Make your future happen - GOV.UK

News story MAKE YOUR FUTURE HAPPEN A new campaign for prospective students and their parents about changes to the student finance system in 2012 is launched today. This was published under

the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government Are you thinking of going to university or college in 2014 to 2015? New updated website for future students. The

press, radio, media partnership and social media campaign links students and parents to a new dedicated website for future students. It describes how the tuition loan system will operate,

how to get a student loan, help with living costs and what support is available from government. Universities and Science Minister David Willetts said: “We must ensure that prospective

students are not put off applying to university because they do not understand the new system. Going to university depends on ability - not the ability to pay. “New students will not pay

upfront costs, there will be more financial support for those from poorer families and everyone will make lower loan repayments than they do under the current system once they are in well

paid work. “A university degree is an excellent investment in your future. Students and their families need to know that applying for student finance is quick and easy and can be done

on-line.” ## LINKS Press Notice Guide to student finance SHARE THIS PAGE The following links open in a new tab * Share on Facebook (opens in new tab) * Share on Twitter (opens in new tab)
