Student Finance UK citizen living in Ireland

Just looking to clarify something - I am a UK citizen living in the Republic of Ireland, I was filling up the form EU23 and in the question 3b regarding residence it asks have you lived in the UK for the previous three years and the answer is for me is no and then says - have you been resident in the EEA or Switzerland on or before 31 December 2020 or same for the three years prior to the first day of the first academic year of your course? I can answer yes to this? and therefore does this mean that I can apply for full support online and how likely would you be to get maintenance support. Thanks.

Hi there,

Can you confirm you're a UK national?

Thanks,

If you're a UK national then you may be eligible to apply for home funding based on what you have advised. Nothing would be definite till you apply and the assessor can review this. We would advise to apply now so this can be done.

Thanks,
Claire

As you have been living out with England for 3 years prior to your course and will be attending a Northern Iris institution you would need to contact Student Finance northern Ireland to apply for funding through themselves. You can find out more information on how to make an application here: https://www.studentfinanceni.co.uk/

Their contact number is: 0300 100 0077

Thanks, Karen
