Alternative funding to cover tuition fees for a postgraduate degree

Is there any funding options outside Student finance england, as I interrupted my studies in 2025, with two loans already from SFE, and i am deferred to go back in september 2026, I am a home student (british) with university of plymouth and looking for options for funding to stay on my interrupted masters, SFE said I may have to withdraw from my course and apply again with compelling personal reasons due to me interrupting my masters because of a mental health crisis, id ideally like to not have to withdraw and reapply.

Any suggestions or signposting wouls be great.

Hi Chocogemgem, out with what has already been advised previously the only option would be to check with the university for any discretionary support they may offer or with Citizens Advice Bureau for any addition external support that may be available to students while in studies. Unfortunately, without the compelling personal reasons process there would not be any additional support that Student Finance could apply. Stephen
