When Can We Apply for Student Finance for 2025/26?

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to start university in September 2025, and I was wondering when we’ll be able to apply for Student Finance for the 2025/26 academic year. I know applications usually open around spring, but does anyone know the exact date or when it was announced in previous years?

Also, how long does the process usually take? I want to make sure I apply as early as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Martin,

Those applications aren't live yet. They won't be open till the spring. Once they are you'll then be able to apply. You can sign up here to be notified when they are live: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/student-finance/get-ready-find-out-when-to-apply-for-student-finance. Thanks, Jason
