How we work with you
Eligibility Check
We assess your residency, course type, and previous study history to establish exactly what funding you can access.
Entitlement Calculation
We calculate your expected tuition fee and maintenance loans based on your household income and circumstances.
Application Submission
We guide you through every section of the form, reviewing for accuracy before submission to avoid delays.
Evidence & Verification
We advise on what supporting evidence you need and ensure it is submitted correctly and on time.
Confirmation & Queries
We follow up to confirm your award and help you respond to any queries or requests from the finance body.
Understanding Your Funding Entitlement
Many students receive significantly less funding than they are entitled to — simply because they did not know what to apply for or submitted incorrectly. We explain the full picture: tuition fee loans, maintenance loans, and supplementary grants.
Application Support & Deadline Management
Student finance applications open months before the start of term, and late applications mean late payments. We open applications as early as possible, guide you through every form field, and make sure your evidence is submitted correctly.
Scholarships, Bursaries & Alternative Funding
Government loans are not the only source of support. Many universities offer income-assessed bursaries, subject-specific scholarships, and care-leaver funds that students never claim because they simply do not know they exist.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to repay student loans?
Repayments begin only after you earn above the repayment threshold (currently £25,000/year for Plan 5 students). Repayments are deducted automatically as a percentage of earnings above that threshold.
Can international students get UK student finance?
Generally no — UK student finance is for home students with settled status. Some students with EU settled status or certain visa types may qualify. We assess your individual situation.
When should I apply for student finance?
Applications typically open in spring for September start dates. We recommend applying as early as possible.
What if my household income changes during the year?
You can apply for a Current Year Income (CYI) assessment if your household income drops significantly.
