University tuition fees

May 05, 2011 3 Replies

My cousin graduated in 1938. She tells me that she or her parents had to pay £1000 fees for her course. I went to college in 1966 and got a full non-repayable grant for my tuition fees and personal maintenance. Can someone tell me when student grants were introduced in the UK?


According to wikipedia it was 1962.

This was for maintenance BTW, not fees. Fees were paid direct to the Universities.

£1000 was an awful lot of money in 1938. Are you sure that it is correct?
