is it possible for me to cancel my application and reapply to add a maintenance loan to my application? I need to set it to £0 to prove eligibility. So would it reach the university in time?
Hi there. Can you provide some more information about this? What is it your trying to prove for eligibility? Have you applied for Tuition Fees only? Are you a UK national? Thanks, Leah.

Are you wanting to receive the Maintenance Loan from us or just be assessed for the bursary? Thanks, Leah.

this is what my university’s website says ‘You will need to submit a maintenance loan application to the SLC and pass their eligibility checks. However, you will be able to specify in your application to them that you do not want a loan and enter £0, so you won’t borrow any money.’
so i assume i need to apply for a maintenance loan but just set it to £0?
Yes, if you aren't wanting to apply for the Maintenance Loan, but be assessed for the bursary we would need a NMT to MT form to be completed by you, and a PFF2 from your sponsors (if any). Are you under 25? Also, has you applicaiton been approved already? Thanks, Leah.

Thank you, so I don’t need to redo my application? Yes, I’m under 25. My application has been approved but I just need to send my NI number so that my payments can go through
If you haven't applied for any Maintenance Loan (ML) on the application, we need a NMT to MT form to be completed by you.

We will also need a PFF2 to be complete by your parents, for the household income.

Since you didn't apply for any ML on the application, we won't award the ML but will assess the household income using these forms for your bursary. It's around 32 business days to process these. You can upload the forms to your online account. Thanks, Leah.
