Student Finance, a country-by-country guide to the cost of studying, from tuition loans to grant repayment and back-to-school spending
We explain the money side of studying system by system: when to apply for tuition and maintenance loans, how repayment works, when a grant has to be paid back, and what going back to school actually costs. We cover Korea's term-by-term student loan schedule, US FAFSA processing delays with Pell Grant and IBR repayment, the UK's split of tuition and maintenance loans alongside the Clearing timetable, and Spain's MEC grant repayment rules - deadlines and conditions that differ from country to country.
