Masters Loan Eligibility?
Hello,
I started my post-graduate studies in 2021, part-time.
I've applied for student finance for my last year, my 4th year, in August for the academic year 2025-2026. I completed my application in August of this year. My last involves the master's dissertation
I'm querying, will I be eligible, given I'm applying in my final year? I've read that you need to apply in the first 9 months if it's one year, but if it's longer, you can apply within 9 months of your first day of your final year.

HI there,
Students can apply for a PGM in any year of their course as long as they apply within 9 months of the first day of the final academic year of their course. The application to complete would be the year of your first year. If this was Sept 2021 onwards you would need to complete the 21/22 application. You can find this on our website here https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/60f7ded0e90e0764d4c68c2b/sfe_pgl_application_form_2122_o__3_.pdf
The form will need to be posted to us, the address is on the form. Applications can take 6-8 weeks to process.
Thanks,
Claire
