Applying for student finance in year 2 but not year 1

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to apply for a maintenance loan in year 2 of a degree if I don't apply for one in year 1? I'm fortunate enough that I shouldn't need one but just wanted to be sure that if my circumstances change I can still get a loan? I will be applying for tuition fee loans regardless.

Thanks!

Hi there.

You don't need to apply for funding for every year of your course and when you do apply you can choose what you actually require. so if for the first year you don't want a loan for maintenance but do for fees then you simply put this on your application.

Thanks.
