70% of NVQ 4 students work part-time to support themselves financially	"It's a constant juggling act trying to balance work, studies, and applying for financial aid," says Sarah, a NVQ 4 student.
Only 30% of students receive financial aid	"The application process for financial aid is time-consuming and complicated, adding to the stress of already busy students," says John, a financial aid advisor.

This trend highlights the growing financial pressures faced by students pursuing higher education in the health and social care sector. With the rising cost of living and tuition fees, many students are forced to work part-time to make ends meet, leaving them with limited time and energy to focus on their studies.

Experts warn that the lack of financial support can have a detrimental impact on students' academic performance and mental well-being. Without adequate financial aid, students may be forced to drop out of their courses, leading to a loss of valuable talent in the healthcare sector.

It is crucial for policymakers and educational institutions to address the challenges faced by NVQ 4 students and provide more support in the form of scholarships, grants, and flexible work-study programs. By investing in the education and well-being of these students, we can ensure a brighter future for the healthcare workforce.
