Student Finance Inquiry on a Spouse Visa

Hi, I am inquiring to know if i would be eligible for tuition only fee with given circumstances:
1. Married to a UK national
2. Lived in UK for last 3 years before first day of first academic year
3. On a 5 years spouse visa route to ILR (currently 3 years in but ILR has to be applied when 5 years mark is completed)
4. 25 years old
5. Computer science subject
6. Nationality Pakistani
My only confusion is that if I would be able to apply for a tuition fee only funding or full support considering my stay here has to be renewed on the 5 years mark of my spousal route. Would I still be able to get full support with maintenance loan or only tuition loan before I receive my ILR?

Hi there, when are you looking to start your course and what level of funding will this be? Thanks, Jason

I am looking to start in September 2025 and I am looking for maintenance and student loan

Thank you and to confirm, when do you expect to receive your ILR? Thanks, Jason

My ILR will be applied for in 2027 as that would mark my 5 total years of time in marriage, for now i am on a spouse visa

Thank you. If you don't hold the ILR then you wouldn't be eligible for the full funding (maintenance loan) for the course. This advise is based on 24/25 regulations and rules so these can always change on a year to year basis. Thanks, Jason

Thankyou Jason, so when i do get to applying for finance I should expect only the tuition fee to be wavered be paid by SLC?
