My daughter’s got a degree in biomedical science, works in a lab and fancies a career change to become a physician’s asst. It’s a two year degree with all the concomitant costs. I’m aware there’s grants and bursary’s etc out there and wondered if the ST collective had any experience or knowledge of (legally) funding postgrad education, perhaps an obscure charitable trust fund or similar?

This may go without saying, but are you/she aware of the student loans for PG master's?

Look for scholarships and bursaries here: https://www.postgraduatesearch.com/funding

Cheers Finbar, yes, we’ve looked gov.uk and some of the others, it’s looking like she’s going to need approx 30k a year including course fees etc.

£12k fees/yr I guess - that's some crunchy living costs if so. I guess if she's working currently she may need to go down a few notches on the Maslov heirarchy for a bit 😉
