Money Box Live - 15/09/2010

As freshers and students across the UK set off for university, this afternoon's Money Box Live takes your calls on student finance. It's estimated that average student debts can top five and a half thousand pounds for each year of study. Financial help is available in the form of loans, grants bursaries and scholarships, but will vary depending on your choice of course, place of study and personal financial circumstances. If you're beginning a course, considering higher education or anxious about paying for higher education, Paul Lewis and guests will be ready to help. You can call the programme when lines open on Wednesday at 1330 BST. The number is 03700 100 444. Standard geographic charges apply. Calls from mobiles may be higher.
