2012 Funding - Summer 2011
During summer 2011 NASMA ran a series of workshops about 2012 funding. These half-day workshops were open to anyone requiring information about 2012 student funding. In total 8 workshops were run in locations across the UK.
Each workshop provided information about 2012 Funding for full-time and part-time students. This included loans, grants and the National Scholarship Programme. The workshops provided an opportunity for delegates to discuss 2012 systems with other delegates.
Some of the feedback received following these events includes:
- "The session was very competently delivered and definitely has given me more knowledge about the new funding arrangements."
