Good Morning Glory,

If you have 3 years residency within the EU, EEA or Switzerland for the 3 years before the 1st day of the 1st academic year of the course then you may be eligible for EU funding (Tuition Fee Loan).

Warm Regards,

Shaun.

Thank you for the response.
But what do I need to prove the 3 years residency within the EU?

What is your exact status in the UK awarded by the home office? Do you have pre settled status yourself?

Good morning :smile:

You can only be entitled to receive a Maintenance Loan if you apply as a family member of a Migrant Worker and are deemed eligible - if you are not deemed eligible then you will only be entitled to the Tuition Fee Loan as a family member of an EU National. I'd advise you to apply as soon as possible.

Thanks, Isaac
