Student finance with pre-settled status

hi, I have been living in the UK for 4 years and have pre settled status therefore I can only apply for tuition fee only funding, and recently found out that since i cant get maintenance loans, i also cant get bursaries or anything like that. im not an international student so i also cant apply anythibg related to that…i dont know what to do this is depressing me and i dont think there is a way out at this point. are there any financial help from the government? i was really hoping to at least get lije £2000 from the uni as a bursary since i would be eligible for it (before i realised im not even eligible as they want maintenance loans eligibility). im hoping to go uni of manchester btw. so if you know anything helpful….

hey. I have pre settled status and was able to get a maintenance loan. what makes you think you won't be eligible for it?

Hello
Even without being dependent on your sponsor anymore?
I can show proof of bank transfers from 2022-2023. Does the dependency on parent need to be continuous?
