Every UK student is potentially eligible for two loans: a Tuition Fee Loan, which will cover the cost of your first undergraduate course, and a Maintenance Loan, which can support your living costs. Both of these loans are provided by Student Finance England (SFE).
Your maintenance loan is calculated based on where you plan to study (London or elsewhere in the UK) and the amount you are provided with depends on your household income. You may need a parent/guardian to help you calculate this.
You may also be eligible for a scholarship or bursary. We recommend researching your chosen university to find out what financial support is available to you.
- Individual university scholarships: Universities offer a range of scholarships and bursaries based on different criteria.
- Disabled students allowance: If you have a disability, or physical/mental health condition, SFE may be able to provide extra funding to support you
- Dependants grants: If you are a young carer, have any children, or anyone that you have to support financially, SFE may also be able to help.
Top Tip
If you think you may qualify for any type of bursary/grant, it’s always worth applying to find out!
