Will I be eligible for student finance?

You can apply for full support if you’re a UK national or have settled status (no restrictions on how long you can stay); you normally live in England; or you’ve been living in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for 3 years before the first day of the first academic year of your course

EU students with pre-settled status can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan only at first. But when you gain settled status (usually after 5 years of living in the UK), you can also apply for a Maintenance Loan. There are some other students who can apply for full student finance too, including students with Refugee or Humanitarian Protection status (but not asylum seekers), students who are in the UK via the Afghan or Ukraine visa concessions, and migrant workers.
