UCAS Financial Support Advice Needed!

I have a twin sister. We're both applying for university to start in September 2025. She's applying for medicine and I'm applying for Mechanical Engineering. My family isn't well off but isn't eligible for contextual offers. My dad's health is not good so he can't work and my mum is looking for a new job. Will we be allowed to get some support due to us being twins and my parents struggling to pay for even one of us let alone both?

You can apply for both tuition fee and maintenance loans from student finance. If you normally reside in England, you would apply to Student Finance England. You can apply for a the higher maintenance loan by submitting details of household income:

Note - the finance you might be eligible for isn't linked to contextual offers.
