Hi VSurge and welcome to the forum.  Congratulations on your dd’s DaDa place! I’m sure someone with more recent knowledge than I will be along soon - in the meantime, have you emailed the school to see what they suggest? 

I am going to call them Monday but from what her dad said, there was no real suggestions. Although, I suspect he didn’t ask the right questions🙄

Elmhurst US add school and accommodation fees together and then Dada it. This made it more affordable to us as a middle income earning family. Compared to ENBS where it would have cost us £5000 a year more even with the Dada 😅 
It does all depend on your income and eligibility for the maintenance grants. I would ask the schools finance department and get them to give you a break down. Some schools have internal bursaries/sponsors to help families with costs. Worth asking x

 

This is really useful. I will ask them if they do something similar and that would definitely then be affordable x

Hi, I’m hoping someone may have some advice for me please?

my DD is 17 and has a Dada which is amazing. The issue is, we can’t afford to send her if we also have to fund the accommodation. It is a diploma course so don’t think it is eligible for student finance. Does anyone know any ways around this please? I’ll feel awful if we have to say she can’t go but ultimately I have other children and am a single parent so just can’t afford it😕
