Can i apply for a maintenance loan? (Current EU resident, UK passport)

Hi, so I’d like to move back to the uk permanently when I’m 18 and am slightly confused by the regulations when it comes to maintenance loans. I know I can apply for a full tuition loan but this one I’m not sure. I have a UK passport but I live in the EU with my mum, have done for almost seven years. My dad lives in the uk by himself and works there. Does anyone know if I’d be eligible for a maintenance loan?
Thanks

Hi there,

What sort of course are you looking to study? Also, have you lived in the UK at any point in the past?

Warm regards,
Graeme

Hello,

It’s probably far too late to reply but I’ll bite the bullet. I lost my TSR password and have only just got around to resetting my account, life got in the way I suppose.

But I’m still planning on returning to the U.K. and am now looking into universities in more depth.

To answer your question, I’m looking to study English and possibly Creative Writing (I speak fluent English and it’s my first language) and I have lived in the U.K. in the past. I was born there, I am a British citizen and have a British passport, and I lived there until I was around ten years old, before moving.

I recognize that I’m ten months late but thank you for your reply, sorry it took so long to get back to you, and if you see this and could offer any advice that would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Isaac,

Thanks for replying, that’s great news. I’ll be applying for my undergraduate course that will hopefully begin in 2020-2021, as this September I’ll be in the French equivalent of year 13 (I believe).

I completed primary school and passed my SAT’s (I even got accepted into the secondary school I would have attended had my family and I not moved). Would that evidence be sufficient or is there anything I might need to dig up?

Also, I’ve been looking into universities in Scotland and Ireland; do you know if those terms are the same?

Thank you so much for your help.
