Hi everyone 👋
Student Finance: The Student Finance application portal opens in March, and it’s recommended to apply as early as possible to avoid delays. I’ve shared a helpful video below that explains how student finance works and guides you through the application process step by step.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
