Hello
I am an EU student and I would've been in the UK for 2 years by the time my course starts in September 2018. I want to know if I qualify for tuition fees.

Were you living on the EU for at least a year before you came to the UK?

You need 3 years residence in the EEA by 1 Sept 2018 to qualify.

Hi there, hungarian student here~ I could barely find any scholarships for EU students offered by the unis I applied to (scottish ones) and my question is that where should I search for non-uni specific scholarships? Are there scholarships for those coming from low income homes? Thank you for the answer c:

Hi, I'm a EU citizen (Croatian) with an undergraduate degree from a Scottish university and I have an offer from Cambridge. As far as I'm aware, I can apply for the SLC as I've been resident in EU since I was born. However, that loan would only cover my tuition fees. Is there any other additional help, be it loans or scholarships (besides the ones offered by the university), that I could apply for that would help with living expenses?

Also, how much before the start of the course is ideal to apply for the loan? Mine starts in October 2018.
