    Hi guys,

    Sorry, I know there are loads of similar threads already. I'm just fairly stuck and not sure where to look so even a point in the right direction would be really appreciated :-)

    Doing a masters this year having just finished my undergrad degree. I've always gotten some portion of the grant, 100% in first year, 50% in second year and in my final two years I got 25% of the grant. My registration was paid each year.

    I applied as usual this year for the masters and they came back to say that they'd pay half my tuition fees, my registration fee with no maintenance, which I'm having a hard time understanding because I couldn't imagine there has been that much of a dramatic change in my parents wages.

    My masters course is costing 2000 in total, and has no registration. I've had to pay 1000 for this.

    The people at the county council said they never pay more than 3000 of the tuition fees anyway but I had heard that the grant would cover a postgrad course up to 6000approx?? I just want to know is this correct?

    Thanks for any help in advance :-)
