How do I know whether I’m eligible for student finance?

There are some basic eligibility criteria for student finance. If you are a British national or have settled status (i.e. there’s no time limit on your stay in the UK), have lived in the UK for the past three years, and will be living in England on 1 September, you’ll usually be eligible for student finance. Previous study can affect this though, so if you’ve previously started a degree get in touch with us for advice.

If you are originally from the EU and have pre-settled status you’ll be able to take out a Tuition Fee Loan, but not a Maintenance Loan. If you’re originally from the EU and have settled status you’ll be eligible for a Tuition Fee Loan and a Maintenance Loan. Again, previous study can affect this, so please get in touch for advice if you’re not sure.
