Too late to apply for maintenance loan?

Hello, I have already applied for a tuition loan that has been approved and have started the academic year already.

Is it too late to apply for a maintenance loan, if not, how do I apply for one?

Thanks you have 9 months from the start of your academic year to apply for the finance. Did you originally apply online and are you a UK national and studying a full time course? Thanks, Jason

I am a UK national studying a full time Graphic Design BA course. I applied online for the course and the tuition loan.

Thank you. Is it the maximum you're looking to receive? And previously had you clicked 'no' to the maintenance loan or just to the basic amount? Thanks, Jason

Yes, I wish to receive the maximum amount, and I had previously clicked "no" as my personal circumstances had differed.

Hi Kemy,

Thank you for confirming. You will need to complete an 'Include household income' form and upload this to your account. If you are under the age of 25, you also need to have your parents complete a PFF2 form to provide the household income details. You also need to change the loan request section of your application by selecting 'change application' then 'loan request.'
