Do I qualify for a maintenance loan?

Hi, so i'm a UK citizen with british parents, born in the uk etc... but i've lived half my life in the UK and half in france? I've lived total about 8/9 years in the UK in my life (0-3, 8-14) and vice versa for France (3-8, 14-now). I know it says that residents have to have lived 3 years before the start of their course, but I was wondering if I would qualify as an exception? I saw something on the government website about if you have lived in the uk for 7 years then you may qualify, and we have a house in the uk and go home frequently, its just because my parents jobs are based in france.... I'm really confused!! Help??

Hi,

As you're a UK national you'd be eligible for full finance as long as and you are ordinarily resident in the UK, on the first day of the term of your course.
