Is there anyone here from the UK who knows anything about getting financial aid for mature students? I want to go to return to England and go to University but dont know how this would or could happen.

i am with open university and had a grant with them as im on income support. think you can apply for this when you apply fot the course you want to do. if you ring registrations at any university im sure they will be able to help you.x

The OU is the way to go. You dont even need to return to the UK to do the courses. There is financial help for people on income support. Check out the web site

Sorry, I only know about the twisted, confusing web they call "Financial AId" in the U.S.
