Small treasures up for grabs (no pirates please)

Article Abstract:

An overview of the potential difficulties facing university students and charities that award grants in the UK when top-up fees are introduced in 2006. Many charities are likely to reconsider the amount of grants they award to university students as, under the new system, students are likely to be better off, at least initially, as the majority of the debts they run up will not need to be dealt with until after they leave university.
