student support arrangement on ucas

Do I have to find a centre that provides student finance (as in does the uni sort that out or do I have to contact a provider of student finance)? And also, where do I select for the student support arrangement? Would it be the area that I live in, or the area that uni is located in?

Hi cheesybugger76,

You would make the student finance application yourself, the university wouldn't do this for you.

Thanks,

Thank you for answering! Just wondering if you also know how I would go about this? Would I search up student finance providers and make applications to this? Also, would I do this after being officially accepted by a university or before hand?

Hi cheesybugger76,

Are you a UK national who is resident in the UK? What course are you going to study?

Thanks,

If you live in England, you apply to Student Finance England.
If you live in Wales, you apply to Student Finance Wales.
If you live in Scotland, you apply to SAAS.
If you live in NI, you apply to Student Finance Northern Ireland.

Applications usually open in March/April for entry to uni the following September/October. It is best to apply as soon as you can so that finance is in place for the start of your course. If you haven't received all your offers or decided your firm choice by the time you apply for finance, just put down your favourite as the uni can be changed later.

Hi there,

Can you tell us a bit more about what you're asking?

Are you making this application with us, Student Finance England?

Are you doing this online?

Thanks, Graeme
