  • I'm planning on re-taking my A Levels at 20. Where can I get funding?

    At the start of the academic year (September) I'm going to be 20. I have applied to re-do my A Levels but as I am over 19 I'll have to pay for it myself. I work 15 hours a week that I cannot afford to give up so please don't say about Job Seekers Allowance unless there is a way around it. Can someone please list all the best places to get funding for my AS's and A2's, preferably grants. Links directly to application forms will be much appreciated.

    Thanks
