How much could you get?
Understand tuition loans, maintenance support and grants before you apply — in plain English.
RESIDENCY STATUS CHECK
Student finance eligibility by immigration status.
Use this before you choose a course or apply. It helps separate students who are usually stronger for full support from cases that need an adviser check.
Important
Eligibility still depends on home address, ordinary residence, 3-year residence rules, course designation, previous study, age and Student Finance England assessment.
UKFULL SUPPORT ROUTE
Usually able to apply for Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan if England residence and course rules are met.
ILRFULL SUPPORT ROUTE
Usually treated as settled. Check England home address and continuous residence before the course starts.
EUFULL SUPPORT ROUTE
Can be a strong full-support route where the student meets residence, course and age requirements.
RFPROTECTED STATUS
Often eligible under protected-status rules, but evidence and exact status wording must be checked carefully.
PSAdviser check
EU pre-settled status
Often tuition-fee support only unless another route applies, for example worker or specific family-member rules. Check before promising maintenance.
Guidance based on current GOV.UK student finance residency categories. Final decision is always made by Student Finance England.

THE HONEST TRUTH ABOUT STUDENT FINANCE
It's a loan — but a fair one.
Student Finance is often misunderstood. We'd rather you know now than be surprised later.
See full repayment details →It's a loan, not a grant
Tuition is paid to university. Maintenance is paid to you.
You only repay above £25,000
Repayment is based on income, not the balance.
Wiped after 30 / 40 years
Many graduates do not repay the full amount.
