Here's what Student Finance can include.

Student Finance covers your tuition and can support your living costs. Most people don't realise how much they're entitled to.

Tuition Fee Loan

Tuition Fee Loan

up to £9,535/year , paid directly to your university

Maintenance Loan

Maintenance Loan

Additional Support

Additional Support

Childcare grants · Parents' allowance · Disability support

You don't pay anything until you're earning above the threshold, and the loan is written off after 40 years.

Worried about taking a loan?

You don’t pay a fixed amount, only what you can afford based on your income.

You only repay 9% of what you earn above £25,000

If you earn £30,000 → that's roughly £37.50/month

No repayments while you study or if you’re not earning

You're not taking a risk upfront.
