Student Finance, loans, grants

Hi, im looking to start uni in September on a midwifery course.
I was hoping to find out, doe my partners income affect if i can get the student load to cover the course costs?
does it affect if i can get the NHS learner support fund?
Thanks

Hi Sara,
Can you confirm your age? Are you married or have children? We don't use partners details for the Tuition Fee Loan, this would only be for Maintenance Loan and Supplementary Grants if applicable.
Thanks,
Claire

im nearly 37 with 3 children (13,14,18 in september) im not married but living with partner

We would need your partners details to support your application. This is to work our the Maintenance Loan and Supplementary Grants if applicable.
We don't pay the NHS Support Fund, but you can find more details on their website here https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-learning-support-fund-lsf
Thanks,
Claire

but i would be covered for the loan that covers the course? the £9,250 a year?

Have you studied before? Have you had finance before form us?
Thanks,
Claire

no never had a student loan or attended university

If yourself and the course are eligible then you should be fine for the fees. We don't use income to determine Tuition Fees.
Applications for 25/26 are not yet open, these normally open February/March. Keep checking our website for further details on them opening and apply as soon as they do. Applications can take 6-8 weeks to process once we have everything.
Thanks,
Claire
