The government also confirmed that maintenance loans and grants to support students with living costs will go up by 2.8 per cent for the 2023/24 academic year - almost eight per cent below the current current inflation rate of 10.7 per cent. Tom Allingham from student money website Save the Student said the rate of increase represents a "devastating blow to struggling students".
He said: "The 2023/24 Maintenance Loan rates are a devastating blow to struggling students, who will now see their battle with the cost of living crisis intensify next year. "With Universal Credit and State Pension rates both rising with inflation, and students unable to benefit from the vast majority of the government's extra cost of living support, this is yet another example of those in power wilfully ignoring the needs of young people in higher education."
