OP: Have you looked into the student grant?

I'm sure your son can go to college if he has got the points and wants to do it this year. He will get some part time job - be it bar work, delivering pizzas, leaflets, etc. and live frugally like the majority of students.

Definitely talk to MABS, you never know, they could liaise with some of your creditors and get your loan payments reduced but payable over a longer timeframe, hence freeing up the money for your son's college levy fee? They may have other more helpful suggestions.

Good luck and keep working on a solution until you have found one.

Please FORGET Providence: tempting, but so so costly.

Whatever the college plans for your son, please take into account that students this year have been warned of the possibility of college fees next year...
