Financial Support Available for Students in London
Many students are unaware that student finance can include more than just tuition fee support. Depending on your circumstances, you may also be eligible for additional funding and university-based support.
Student Finance England (SFE)
Student Finance England provides financial support to eligible students studying at approved UK institutions. This can include tuition fee funding and maintenance support to help with everyday living costs while studying.
Grants & Additional Allowances
Some students may qualify for extra support that does not usually need to be repaid. This may be available for students with children, adult dependants, disabilities, or caring responsibilities.
University Bursaries & Scholarships
A few universities also offer their own bursaries and scholarship schemes. These can include hardship support, travel assistance, academic achievement awards, and sports-related scholarships.
How Much Support Could You Receive?
The amount of student finance available can vary depending on several factors, including:
Household income
Course type and study intensity
Living arrangements
Personal circumstances
For many students, student finance can provide significant support throughout their degree and may include a mix of maintenance funding, tuition support, grants, and bursaries.
Understanding Student Finance Repayments
Student finance repayments work differently from traditional loans. In most cases:
- Repayments only begin once your income reaches the required threshold
- Monthly payments are linked to earnings rather than fixed amounts
- Any remaining balance may eventually be written off under current repayment rules
- Student finance does not usually affect your credit score in the same way as personal borrowing
- Are a UK citizen or have settled status
- Hold pre-settled or settled status as an EU national
- Are applying for an eligible higher education course
- Are studying for your first undergraduate qualification
- Meet the standard Student Finance England eligibility requirements

Students financially supporting a partner or another adult family member may also qualify for additional assistance.
Childcare Support
Eligible students may receive support towards registered childcare costs while attending university.
