Help to find education funding

Hi, I am trying to find somewhere that could help me fund a university course. I have been looking for sometime but keep getting stopped at every turn. I became disabled after an accident at work 6 years ago and have been in receipt of ESA, PIP and IIB benefits since. As it turns out, the ESA has stayed on contribution based and is not eligible for the funding I require. I have been searching since to find any other way without getting a loan to fund this course. Could you please tell me if there is such funding available anywhere.
Many thanks
Craig
