Web-based resources

There is a vast amount of information available on websites about funding, support and advice for both individuals in need and for those seeking help with funding for education, particularly higher education.

Many individual universities have their own lists on their websites. If you are looking for funding for education it is always worth starting with your prospective college or university website.
