travel grant

Hi Bossa,

You can submit your reimbursement claim as soon as you have copies of receipts that you can provide, you don't have to wait until September.

Please note that you will be eligible to pay the first £303 of your travel costs and anything over this will be reimbursed.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your answer. I will also be in China late August as this is when enrollment starts, can I receive my loan and grant just slightly before? Also would I receive my reimbursement as soon as I provide evidence such as receipts and send them in?

Hi Bossa,

Payment dates are scheduled and are dependent on your term dates, therefore we are unable to bring payments forward or pay all instalments in one lump sum. If, however you are overseas/placement, your payment date will be 25 working days prior to the UK course start date which will automatically be scheduled by our payment system.

Your reimbursement can take roughly 4 weeks to be processed.

Thanks :smile:

My scheduled first payment date is the 26th August but I will be leaving on the 28th. Is there no way of obtaining the payment slightly earlier at all or is it a fixed payment date?

Hello,

I received a declaration with the incorrect student finance I am entitled to. I will send this declaration of even though it is incorrect in order to get my funding on time. When I send in the course abroad form which is the only evidence I need to send in, will I receive the extra entitlement shortly afterwards as I am entitled to the study abroad rate?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

The Declaration you receive is only to agree to the terms and conditions of the funding, not any amounts. We will still process and update your entitlement after this has been received.

Hi there,

It can take 3 - 4 weeks to process evidence on your account.

We will make any further payments once your evidence has been worked.

I sent it more than 2 months ago and there has been no update whatsoever on my account, and it is difficult for me to call from all the way abroad. What do I do?

Thank you.
