Increase SFE loan for volunteer placement year students in the UK
SFE is there to help students afford their university studies, however the amount offered for a volunteer (unpaid) placement year is considerably lower, making it hard for students to afford living costs. Universities are pushing for students to take placement years yet SFE is making it unaffordable
Universities and SFE offer varying amounts ranging from £2000 to £2500. According to the NUS average living costs for a student in the UK is £13,388 for living costs
(£6,143 for rent, £1,956 for food, £316 for household goods, £65 for insurance, £2,074 for personal items, £1,524 for travel and £1,310 for leisure).
