Stand Alone is currently working on a feedback report for Student Finance England. Many students and graduates have contacted us referencing difficulties in evidencing family estrangement when applying to study. In recent weeks, we’ve been consulting with students and graduates about key problems and indeed possible solutions. In light of this, we’d like to extend our research and ask others that have been through this process for feedback. If you have ever applied to study under independent status, and have provided evidence of your family estrangement to Student Finance in the UK, please give us a couple of minutes and feedback your thoughts here:

We’re really looking forward to representing your views on this process and suggesting positive changes where you think they are needed.
