[QUOTE="Law1099, post: 141086, member: 9882"] Hi everyone. I am due to start the sqe on a firm sponsorship in September but I am kind of freaking out about the financial situation. We are to attend in London, and the course runs from September up until July as they are doing the BPP complete course. The firm said they are only offering 7k, which was quite a shock to me as other firms doing the same course are offering 15-20k maintenance! 7k for 10 months is just not simply not enough to cover rent, never mind any living expenses. I am even concerned a part time job (I’m guessing no more than 20 hours otherwise it will be impossible to really put my all into the sqe) will not adequately cover it. The firm have said that you can apply for postgrad funding because it’s a masters, but this is not applicable to me because I already have a masters and therefore have already applied and received postgrad funding several years ago. I am very concerned of what to do and I am not sure whether to explain this to the firm but I do not want to sound ungrateful. I thought 7k was OK if the course ended in April, but now they are doing the complete course- I think I was expecting them to provide a maintenance grant similar to firms like Freshfields and HSF.
