Student Finance Help

Hey!

I’m currently in Year 11. I have a French passport but I was born in England and lived here my whole life. My mum and siblings all have British passports.

Will this have any affect on getting a student loan? Would I be considered an EU student?

Hi iBearHQ,

IF you were born in the UK, do you have a UK birth certificate? And can you advise if you hold dual nationality ?or are you a French national?

Thanks

Hi iBearHQ,

If you were born in the UK and have a UK birth certificate and you state that you have lived in the UK since birth, you would be eligible to apply to Student Finance as a home student, as long as you meet the below residency requirements.
