The directgov website has details of how to apply for student grants and loans and also produces a free DVD about unimoney which can be ordered using an online form on the website at http://www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance

 

Finance Made Fun for Students !

The UNIAID student calculator is an online student finance calculator. You can calculate Grants, Loans and other income, input your outgoings (like rent, utility bills, food, travel, clothing etc...) and balance your budget using the calculator.

All About U (also from UNIAID) gives users a virtual experience of one year at university. Faced with a series of scenarios which are fun but which mirror the challenges and decisions they will have to make at university, users will learn to balance their time, money, academic goals and social lives. The programme can be played individually online or can be incorporated into workshops for students, parents, carers and advisers.
