Things change rapidly so I am not sure what is relevent. But some colleges have hardship grants so that students in trouble financially can get help. You would have to ask about that one. I had a friend who was actually unemployed and on benifits when she took her city and guilds, because it was a part-time course she was still able to claim unemployment benifit.
She also got help from the college for equipment.Good luck with your course.
