Eligibility

Student finance can be a minefield, especially when it comes to who actually qualifies for help. Our “Eligibility” guides break it all down clearly. We explain who can apply for loans and grants, what the residency rules are, and how age or previous study might affect your chances. We also cover specific cases like EU and international students or part-time learners. Forget the complicated government jargon — we turn it into plain English so you can figure out exactly what support you’re entitled to. If you’re stressing over forms and fine print, start here.
