Hi,
I am non EU spouse of British national. My visa status is Spouse - leave to remain.
I have been in the UK for 3 years and 8 months. I want to apply for a course that starts next September, and then I will be in the UK for 4 years and 6 months. I only want tuition free loan. Am I eligible at all?

Thank you Isaac, but this doesn't answer my question. I am NON EU.
Thank you Isaac, but this doesn't answer my question. I am NON EU.
You will need to be eligible to apply for home student funding but we don't currently know how this affects family members of EU/UK Nationals.
I advise you to contact us again early next year and we will be able to advise on your eligibility.
Thanks, Isaac

I have already started my course in September, now applied for EU funding only tuition fees. My husband is british and I have been living in the UK for 5 years now ,I obtained my settled status in November this year. I spoke to somebody on the phone prior to applying I was told that I won't be eligible as my British husband does not count as an EU national.However, I applied and now waiting for response. Could you explain if I am eligible or not.

You are only eligible for EU funding based on being a family member of an EU/UK National currently but this will change next year.
Thanks, Isaac

Can I get any updates please? I don't want to apply for the course and end up disappointed because I cannot get funding. I already had that experience and I don't want to do that to myself.
As I can see from Shima900 post, I won't be able to get finance for my course fees even when I get remain to leave?
It's so unfair, makes me wonder why I came to this country at all. Am I supposed to work for minimum wage forever???

You will need to meet the criteria listed here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/studying...or-eu-students (scroll to the bottom).
You can also view the full eligibility criteria here https://www.gov.uk/government/public...-academic-year
Do you have pre settled status or only leave to remain status?
Thanks, Isaac

Hi Isaac,
Thanks for your reply.
My residence permit says my status is: Spouse visa -leave to remain until July 2022.
I cannot apply for settlement yet.
I guess that means I won't be able to get any financial support?
I need help with paying my fees only.
It's really frustrating because I don't know should I apply for the course at all.

Family members of UK nationals living in the UK
Family members of UK nationals resident in the UK will qualify for home fee status and
tuition fee support from Student Finance England on the basis of 3 years ordinary
residence in the UK and the Islands. They must also be undertaking a designated course
in England.
However I don't know if this applies if you have leave to remain status.
We are receiving training on the 21/22 year next week so I will query this and get back to you on Wednesday.
Thanks, Isaac

Hi, you will be required to show you have 3 years residency in the UK, 3 years lawful status and provide your ID, your marriage certificate and your spouses ID. I advise you to apply as soon as the application launches so our assessors can review your case.

In order to determine your eligibility, please confirm:
1. Which university and course you are looking to start your studies with?
2. How old you are.
3. Your nationality and current status in the UK.
4. Any previous study and qualifications you may hold.
Thanks, Isaac
