mature student getting finance

hi,

i am 27, will be 28 when i start university. I currently live with parents, but when at uni i will be privately renting with my partner outside of London. My partner will be working full time while I'm studying and I am hoping to get a part time role as he cant afford the rent and bills all by himself. I was wondering whose income do i need to base my maintenance loan form on?

I find this whole process extremely confusing and will need all the financial support i can get.

Another question i have is do i need to reapply for the maintenance and student loan each year?

I hope someone can help
Thanks
laura

I believe you will be classed as independent as you are over 25.
Check with SFE as I think the leaflet points to any of the criteria applying and not all.

Be warned when living with your partner he will be liable for council tax for your place as if you werent living there.

Hi Laura,

To help you better,can I ask are you applying as an undergraduate or for a Postgraduate Loan?

Thanks Rona
