Hi I was just wondering about applying for finance. I was born in and have lived in the UK my entire life until about 3-4 years ago when my mum was on a 2-year contract abroad in a different country. I went with her and studied at school here. She extended this contract for another 2 years but it will be ending this year. Throughout this time my dad has stayed in the UK and worked and my brother is currently at university in the UK with finance. I visited with my mother multiple times a year during the 3-4 years abroad - about 60-80 days each year. I have a permanent UK address with my dad, I’m able to vote as I’ve recently turned 18. When returning in july, I will be staying in the UK. I also have a bank account in the UK and despite being abroad I have ordered things to my address regularly and there is frequent payments made, my bank statements also have my personal address on them. The majority of my universities including my firm have given me home status, but I was wondering my chances of eligibility for finance. I was unsure of applying as I felt if i was unable to receive finance this may affect my status at my chosen university.
