My visa status is skilled dependent,

I am currently in the UK under a Skilled Worker Dependent visa and have been residing here for the past 3 years and 10 months. I have recently received an unconditional offer to study the MSc in Construction Project and Cost Management with Coventry University Online.

I would like to know if I am eligible for any form of student finance or if there are alternative funding options available to support my studies.

I would appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Kind regards,
Shahul Hameed

Hi Shahul,

Normally, to be eligible for student finance you need to have Pre-Settled or Settled Status/Indefinite Leave to remain.

Do you have any UK or EU family members living in the UK at the moment?

Thanks, Graeme

Thank you so much for your response.

I’ve heard that some construction-related charities, they may offer support or educational loans to students in this field. I would be grateful if you could advise whether such options are available, or if you could recommend any relevant organisations that support students pursuing construction studies.

Thank you again for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Hi Shahul,

You would need to speak to find one of these charities yourself to see if they would be able to provide you funding.

Thanks, Drew
