Impact on Families - Bank of Mum & Dad™• Structure of maintenance loans and grants
places an expectation on wealthier families to contribute more towards living costs
• Parents/carers don’t need to bankroll 3 years of full living expenses even if they can afford to!
• Parents/carers should feel comfortable for students to take out the loans and to encourage financial responsibility

Impact on Families - Paying up Front?• Over 3-4 years of study, this could amount
to a lump sum up to £36,000
• Could this be invested in something else?
• Speak to financial advisers
