Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.Special casesIf a student has worked before college: A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked at least three of the previous six years will get extra money - ,155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of ,615 at 29 or more.If a student is handicapped: Leas will give up to ,500 to help meet extra expenses - such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.Banking : Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich executives).
