Apply online for student finance
If you’re a student from England you can apply online for the following academic years:
- 2020 to 2021
- 2019 to 2020
You can apply for:
- Tuition Fee Loans
- Maintenance Loans
- Maintenance Grants (only if your course started before 1 August 2016)
You can apply up to 9 months after the start of the academic year for your course.
If you need help with a further education course at a college or training provider you may be able to apply for an Advanced Learner Loan instead.
The application process is different if you’re a student from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
