Apply for a university course You must apply for a university course eligible for student finance to receive a UK student loan. You can find a list of eligible courses on the government’s website.
Check your eligibility. To be eligible for a UK student loan, you must be a UK citizen or have “settled status” in the UK, have been living in the UK for at least three years before the start of your course, and have been accepted onto an eligible course at a UK university.
Apply for student finance. Once accepted onto an eligible course, you can apply for student finance through the government’s Student Finance England website. You will need to provide information about your system, your household income, and your bank details.
Submit supporting documentation You may also need to submit supporting documentation, such as proof of your identity and household income. Make sure to follow the instructions provided by Student Finance England carefully.
Receive confirmation Once your application has been processed, you will receive proof of how much funding you are entitled to. This will include a tuition fee loan to cover the cost of your course’s price and a maintenance loan to cover living expenses.
Accept the loan You must accept the loan offer through your Student Finance England account. This will confirm that you want to take out the loan and start paying it out.
Attend your course. Finally, attend your system and keep up with your studies. Your university will pay your student loan directly to cover your tuition fees. Any remaining funds will be paid directly to your bank account to cover your living expenses.
