Student bursaries
Sir,—l read with interest Alan Samson’s feature on student bursaries. However, there are one or two points which he did not mention. If a student has worked hard at- school and won an A or B bursary, which he or she has to re-earn each year, and if the student has been “lucky” enough to be granted the hardship allowance, the A or B bursary is taken from this. Thus, the incentive to work is nullified. Even more important, when discussing what it costs a student during the year, no mention was made of the cost of
fees,, equipment, books and trips. These plus student union levies come to a considerable amount. Students regard the hardship allowance as a lottery and this year their chances of winning seem poorer than ever.—Yours, etc. S. A. WARREN. May 19, 1981..
