As financial worries about university grow, students in Europe are concerned that selling family property could impact their student finance support.
One student expressed fears online after their family sold a grandmother’s house to help buy their current rental home. The money is being spent on housing but the student is worried it could still impact on their finance assessment and cut back the support they depend on for university.
Many students across Europe rely on loans, grants and housing support to make higher education possible. The case has prompted discussion about how unclear student finance rules on savings, inheritance and property can cause stress for families already facing rising living and education costs.
