Means Tested Student Finance
When applying for a university grant/loan I understand that my parents income is taken into account, however if they earn £50,000 but are in high debt with little money, what are my options? As i do not qualify for any significant funding, but my parents can't afford to fund my life at university

If your parents help with the application process by giving details of their income you will be assessed for a full maintenance loan and grant.

Apart from government funding universities offer bursaries and scholarships based on financial need and on academic or other (eg sporting) merit. You should contact the universities you have received offers from to determine whether they can help you.
