Travel grants for students studying abroad or on placements (England)
How to apply
-
Apply for student finance using your student finance account. You can register and set up an account if you do not already have one.
-
You’ll then receive a course abroad form.
-
Once you’ve filled in and returned the form, you’ll automatically receive a travel grant form if you’re eligible.
Keep all receipts for any expenses you want to apply for - you’ll need to send copies when you apply.
The money will be paid directly into your bank account.
If your course starts on or after 1 January 2027 (funded through the Lifelong Learning Entitlement), there will be a different way to apply for a travel grant. Online applications will open in September 2026.
