Student finance and maintenance loan

Hi, I'm Cristian, I'm trying to apply for student finance but I have no idea what to fill in at household income because last year I worked full time for a company and this year only a few months and I'm self-employed.

For the maintenance loan I apply after I apply for tuition fees?

I'm stuck, please help.

Regards, Cristian.

Hi Cristian,

Can you confirm your nationality and status in the UK? Are you under 25?

Thanks,
Claire

Hi Claire,

My nationality is Romanian, but I got settled status in UK, I'm 36 years old.
Hi Cristi.s,

If you are over 25 your household income would be your partner's income. We don't take a student's own income into account.

Hi, Callum, I live alone.
Hi Cristi.s,

What is it specifically you need help with? You should be able to apply for the maintenance loan on your main application if you are an EU national with settled status.

Hi Cristi.s,

You would only complete the section about household income if you have a partner.

You should be able to apply for the maintenance loan as part of your main application.

Hi, Callum,

I guess I got it wrong, I'll try again.

Hi Cristi.s,

If you have no taxable income then yes, you would input 0.00.

Thanks, Clare
