from three termly instalments to monthly instalments. Payments of living costs support
for full-time students in higher education at the start of each term give students
the flexibility to meet up-front costs such as accommodation costs.</p><p> </p><p>Advice
on effective budgeting is available through the BIS Student Finance Tour where recent
graduates share their personal experience with prospective students on how to manage
their living costs spending while at university. Around 120,000 prospective students
attended the Tour in 2013, and the aim is to increase this number to 140,000 in 2014.
Budgeting advice is also available through university student support services including
the Money Doctors Initiative. Additional resources are available through the National
Union of Students and the National Association of Student Money Advisers. <br></p><p>
