Second masters year with funding ..?

I started my masters last September With full financial support via student finance wales.
I couldn’t complete my course, I didn’t inform sfw i had dropped out tbf. There is exceptional reasons behind this though.
I’ve been accepted by a different university for another masters next month ( sep 24) and I’ll again require some financial support .. 😬
The circumstances that led me to finish , are not applicable now.

I have been roughly informed that I can apply again stating “compelling personal reasons”
Please can someone give me an actual idea of how I apply for this ..!??
I can get a letter from my GP to back up my reasons.
I just don’t know where and how i am supposed to do this …?

I mean do I send an actual paper claim off , with a covering letter and evidence ? Is it as logical as that ? Or do I need to do something else ?
Any help will be massively appreciated!!

Hi there, are you living in Wales (outwith your term dates)? If so, you'd apply still to them for the funding. Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason .. I’m living and studying in wales yes. When i published this question on SFE option was there to ask , not SFW. or I’d have asked them.
Can you tell me what the process is for my question? As I’m assuming it’s the same in England , or not ? Ta

Hi there, that is a different award authority - so you'd be best to speak to them directly. You can contact Student Finance Wales via the methods here: https://www.studentfinancewales.co.uk/contact/ and they'll be able to further assist. Thanks, Jason
