I am a mature student. Do I qualify for Student Finance on a Distance Learning Course?

I am looking to start a Distance Learning course in April and want to know if I can qualify for any sort of financial help!

  1. Most financial aid is not age dependent. It is income dependent. Without knowing your circumstances (married, kids, job, hubby's job, etc) there is no way we can help you. If it is an accredited school, they should have a financial aid department, go see them.
  2. All accredited schools will be able to offer financial aid to students in online or distance learning courses as long as you are seeking a degree and not just taking classes for the 'fun' of it so speak to your financial aid office.
  3. A person can qualify for some form of financial aid, FAFSA, at any age whether a mature student or recent high school graduate. However, to receive federal financial aid, the college or university must be an accredited institution with the government. You can find this information on its financial aid or funding web page. I have listed some resources that should help below. Good luck!
