			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The NUS have initiated a large research project which includes a  national qualitative survey, a literature review and analysis of  government spending, and qualitative research projects commissioned from  the students&#8217; union membership. Findings from this project will be used  to develop alternative proposals to provide financial support to  English-domiciled students in further and higher education.</p>
<p>The survey aims to look at students&#8217; experiences of financial support  including: accessing support, timing of payments, discretionary vs  statutory support systems, the impacts of hidden costs, transport,  accommodation, private loans and credit.  The NUS wants to hear from you  about what you think works well &#8211; and what might need changing &#8211; about  how you are supported.</p>
<p>The survey closes on the 12 February and respondents will be entered  into a prize draw to win £500 or one of ten £50 prizes.For more  information, go to the<a href="http://www.nusconnect.org.uk/news/article/fundingourfuture/3257/" target="_blank"> Pound in Your Pocket resource on NUS Connect.</a> The survey should take around 20 minutes to complete and can be  completed confidentially. If you have any questions about this survey or  indeed the wider research activity, please contact Alan Roberts, NUS  Policy Officer on <a href="mailto:alan.roberts@nus.org.uk" target="_blank">alan.roberts@nus.org.uk</a></p>

<p>I found this on <a href="http://www.vitae.ac.uk/researchers/346441-504871/NUS-survey-on-finacial-support.html">Vitae </a>— I&#8217;m studying in Wales so I can&#8217;t take it, but I think you should if you are eligible. Let&#8217;s have our voices heard and give those coming up behind us a better chance of making it without being in debt forever…</p>
