Student accommodation – Scholarships that pay towards your student accommodation costs

You’ve got your student loan and your maintenance loan, but when you see the costs of student accommodation and add up the figures, it can still be quite hard to see how you are going to make ends meet. It is also worth bearing in mind that there are some scholarships available which either pay for your accommodation costs or a percentage towards the costs. Some of these are specific to a particular university and will require you to have accepted the university as your first choice in UCAS. There are also a couple which are more generic.
