As in, if I have a few grand in an ISA or have a part time job, will this be taken into account when deciding to give out maintenance grants. I am from the UK, so I would just like to know.

Thinking of investing your savings?
While increasing your savings is good, multiplying your money through smart investments feels great - there are lots of opportunities out there and you can be successful if you're arming yourself with the right information.
Where to start?
If you're going to try your luck on the stock market or trading options, first start by learning the basics and delay as much as possible buying real positions. One way of getting hands-on experience with the markets is through online trading - either forex or binary options are good learning grounds and most online brokers offer trial accounts free of charge (if you're wondering what are binary options, 24option.com has very good resources on it, besides offering a free practice account and a wealth of information about binary trading in general). Final warning for the very eager: binary options are exotic financial instruments; real trading involves substantial risk of monetary loss.

Well I don’t think it asks for your income (as they realise it will be very different once you get to uni) but they do ask about your savings, your parents savings and your parents’ income. It depends how much “a few grand” is. I THINK the form asked me if I had £8000 or more (last year), but you can download the form from http://www.studentfinancedirect.co.uk now and have a look.
yeah, there is a certain amount and if you go over that they won’t give you a penny, same if you parents are rich.
Yes it does so don’t declare it………………get your payments into a seperate account.
