Hi there,

You would need to contact SAAS regarding your eligibility for their funding, however, if you normally reside in England this would indicate that you would apply through SFE.

Hi there,

The cost of your fees is between you and the university. Your actual funding provider is separate. Based on what you have advised, you should be applying through SFE. You would need to login to your account to apply.

Hi there,

No, it will be one or the other. As you advised, SAAS told you to contact us in regards to Tuition Fees and Maintenance Loan as you are ordinarily domiciled in England. The cost of your fees will need to be something that you discuss with your university. Hope that makes more sense.

Thanks, Clare
