An Impartial and confidential information and advice service
The University of Bolton offers an impartial and confidential information and advice service to students on a range of financial issues. We can identify what grants or bursaries you may be entitled to, provide information on tuition fees, identify what benefits you may be able to claim whilst at University and update you on the financial changes for the next academic year.
If you are having difficulty managing your finances whilst studying at University, we can help you work through your problems with budgeting and money management sessions. Learn how to manage your finances and avoid getting into debt.
We act as a referral agency allowing you to get in touch with the right people.
