Student Funding & Loan

You may be able to borrow money to help pay for university or college tuition fees and to help with living costs.You might get extra money on top of this, for example if you’re on a low income, are disabled or have children.

You start repaying once you earn over a certain amount. The size of your monthly repayments will depend on how much you earn, not what you owe.You’ll be charged interest on the loan from the day you take it out. The terms and conditions can change.
