Student Finance 2016 / 17 FAQ

I am very confused about the application deadlines.

I will be starting at uni in September 2016 - if I apply for a tuition fee loan now, will I still receive it for my first year? or will the application only count towards my second year of uni?

I am a EU applicant, if that changes anything...

Please help! thanks in advance

Hi!!! I have got a question - is that true that a student from the EU cannot apply for a student LOAN for costs of living? Help, help, help, I am aware that my patents cannot afford covering all my costs of living therefore I was preparing a students LOAN application and then I got an e-mail from SAAS that then are not giving aby loans to students from EU. What can I do now??????

You will receive it for your first year but it can take up to 6 weeks to process an application so get the form in soon to be sure your university will get their fees paid in the first term

Thank you! One last question, when filling in what university I will be attending I put my first choice. On results day, is it possible to alter the application to enter my insurance choice if I don't make the grades?

An EU student is only eligible to apply for a living costs loan if they've lived in the uk for 5 years.

Does your home country not offer living cost support for you?

So at the University of Manchester, the tuition fee is reduced to £1,800 if you work abroad for a full year. Their website says that I can still take out the full £9000 loan. If I don't use all of the loan, do I still have to pay back £9000?

Really confused

How does getting married affect student finance?
Are there accommodation loans or would we have to pay that ourselves?

If you get married, you're classed as independent, regardless of age. Your maintenance loan is for your accommodation.

Okay, thank you!
I thought maintenance loan is living costs e.g. food, essentials ect. So it's accomadation too?

Hello there, my partner is an EU national that was planning to move here in August to start a university course. She has never lived in the UK and as a result is very concerned about the current state of affairs with regards to the EU. She applied to SLC for tuition fees a few months ago and has heard nothing since, I assumed that this was because a late EU application would take a long time to process but she recently spoke to someone in her country that said his finance has been suspended in the wake of the referendum. Whilst I have been unable to find anything corroborating this, is there a problem for EU nationals applying for finance now or is a long wait time just par for the course?
Thank you.

Hi all.
Im an EU national, Cypriot.

Starting MEng Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial (undergrad, 4 years).
2 quesions:
Will I receive a tuition fee loan for all 4 years or only 3 (as if it were a bachelor) ?

Saw online that to be able to be eligible for a loan you need to have lived 3 years in the EEA prior to course start blah blah and your reason should not have been to receive full time education.
Does school count as "full time education"?
Will be sad to get a rejection considering that I grew up here. I did state as a reason for living here that I was going to school...

Thanks
