Student Finance - UK National - Temporary EU Residence

Hi


I am hoping to apply to attend University in 2021. This will be my first Degree course and first experience of Student Finance.

I am a UK National and have been a resident of the UK for my entire life. My wife is a teacher and is currently working a 2 year fixed term contract, teaching in Europe. We are temporarily living in the EU for this reason and returning to the UK in 2021.

This is purely a temporary venture and we fully intend to return to the UK as permanent residents at the end of the contract.

My question is, based on these circumstances, am I likely to be eligible for student finance?


Thanks you for your help.

Hi there,

So far, you have the Right to Roam so you can still get your full funding with no temporary breaks within the EU taken into account.

Regards,
Nihad
