The maximum loan you can apply for is £12,667.

  • Adult Dependants' Grant

EU funding eligibility for courses beginning from August 2021 onwards

Following the UK's exit from the European Union, the UK government has confirmed that EU, EEA and Swiss nationals starting courses in the 2021/22 academic year onwards, who are not registered as 'settled or 'pre-settled' in the UK will no longer be eligible for home/UK fee status or financial support from Student Finance England.

This means that these students will pay the same fees as international students.
