The HNC itself is only 2 years and costs around £600 - £800 per year.

The ad-on's to this will give you the HND and then BSc at degree level.

As for the grants I havn't a clue, sorry.

as your on low income and would prob be in reciept of tax credits or simmilar you would be entitled to course costs being waived, however this was pre new government so may have to check on current status
