Three things people usually get wrong
The tuition loan is not your money
It goes directly from Student Finance to the university. You never see it and you cannot spend it elsewhere.
Maintenance is not a grant
It is a loan, repaid on the same terms as tuition. But it arrives as cash, three times a year.
Household income means yours
If you are 25 or over, or married, or have supported yourself for three years, your parents' income is irrelevant.
The first step is just a conversation
One call is all it takes to see what is genuinely open to you. It is free, and about twenty minutes of your time.
