Maintenance/Long course loans

Hello,Our son is off to Uni this September and wanted to ask how the loan structure works? I have recently started a new business and so the household income can fluctuate month to month. Is this taken into consideration when our son applies for loans? When the money is there its a pleasure to assist, but it isn't guaranteed and we would like him to study worry free.

Hi there,

If your son wishes to apply for the income assessed Maintenance Loan, we will require his parent(s) to submit their income information from the 2017/18 tax year. Will the overall household income drop by 15% from the 2017/18 tax year in the upcoming 2019/20 tax year?

Thanks,

Hello Spencer,

As Erin, has confirmed we initially require your 17/18 tax year details. If the overall household income has dropped by 15% or more, we can consider a current year income assessment. To enable us to carry out a new assessment you and your partner must complete the Current Year Income Form (CYI) with the estimated income details for the current tax year (19/20), the form will be available from the 6th of April 2019.- http://ow.ly/aSjL30ok50x
We will contact you and your partner at the end of the tax year and ask you to complete a PR2 form and send evidence to confirm your 19/20 income.
