Hello everyone,
I am a thought student at Leicester University.
I am struggling to understand if is possible to apply for a postgraduate loan since I don't live in the UK, and I don't have an english bank account (yet).
My deadline is this 20th of September, so I'd love to know something more before this moment.
I submitted my request through the Student Finance Account and I got a confirmation via email as well.
The point is, when I check the summary it said that it will take from 4 - 6 weeks to process my application and that they will contact me by post when this has been done, but if I look at the main page it's reported that my status is NOT ELIGIBLE FOR STUDENT FINANCE.
All this, asking me to submit a signed declaration form, which is not available from my page.
At first, I though it was because my course is a distance learning course. However, on the University website it's clearly written that I am eligible even if I am following a DL course and that I don't have to live in the UK if I have been living in the EU for the past three years.
Any help would be much appreciated, so thank you in advance.
