Hi! My name is Renata! Just have some questions about my grant. I've already received the letter with the loan approval, but I didn't receive any letter about my maintennance grant. I will start the term on jan/2015. Is that normal? When I will have any news about my grant? Can you check for me, if possible, please?! Thanks

Hi Renata,

Please contact SFE for information on your grant.

Thanks

Hi

You need some documentation from me to support an application for deferment for an old student loan from 1998 i.e proof I'm at uni and a copy of my NHS bursary I am in receipt of. I can't post it as I don't have any money at all for an ink cartridge to print my enrolment receipt, my bursary is delayed so I have no money at all so I can't buy a stamp, and I can't call as my phone doesn't let me call 0845 0800 or 0300 numbers! Do you have an email address I can attach the documentation I have? Thanks.

Hi There,

Sorry, we don't have an email address.

All information should be sent by post.

Thanks

Hi SLC,

I started a degree in 2011, paying 3K each year as this was under the old system of tuition fees. However, I started a PGCE this year and am now paying 9K tuition fees. As I've taken out loans from both systems of tuition fees, I was wondering how my repayments would work? I hope this isn't a tricky question haha.

Thanks a lot!

Hi There,

The repayment process for both will be the same and will be 9% of income above the lowest income threshold which applies. Please see the website for further information.

I have a student loan from 2010 for my BSc and a student loan in 2013 for a PGCE tgey both have different terms and conditions. I have started repaying one of them, will I at some point be paying both at the same time?

Hi There,

This will depend on your income.

If your income is between £16,910 and £21,000 repayments will be made against your 2010 loan.

If your income is over £21,000 then repayments will be made against both your loans.

Please see the website for more information.

I have recently had an intercalation approved by UEA and I was wondering how much loan & grant will I have to pay back? I left on the 29th October which was before the tuition fee cut off but I just wasn't sure how much I need to pay back. Thanks.

Hi There,

Once your university has advised SFE, you'll be re-assessed for the time you spent at your course and will be required to repay any overpayment.

Any loans that you're entitled to you won't start repaying until your earning over £21,000.

Thanks

Hello, may I ask you a question? Hypothetically, if I had taken a loan to cover my tuition fees in a UK university and then left the UK to come back to work in my country (I am a EU resident), how would the repayment procedure work?

If I were to withdraw from my course just after I have received my maintenance loan and grant how would the repayment work. Would it be immediate or will it be when I am earning over 21,000. Also I will be starting my first year at a different university in september so will withdrawing affect next years student finance?

Hi can u help answer the following query regarding student loan.
For the first year 6.6% was charged to my daughter student loan and then 5.5% for the second year. I understand that interest is applied at 3% +RPI so where does 6.6 and 5.5 come from?
Your explanation would be appreciated
