Hi Stephen,
I am from Nigeria, I came in the UK April 2007 as a dependant of work permit but our indefinite leave to remain was refused in 2012, we appealed and we are granted 10years family/private visa in 2017. Thank you

Hi there,

If you follow the steps here to check your eligibility based on your residency: https://www.gov.uk/check-what-undergraduate-student-finance-you-can-apply-for-depending-on-your-nationality-and-residency/y

You can also make an application and the assessors will review and determine this.

Thanks, Jason
