Hi there. SFE don't determine your fee status, this is decided by the universities. We can only advise on eligibility if you are looking to apply for funding from SFE. Thanks, Leah.

Hi there,

How old are you, what nationality are you and what is your status in the UK? When exactly did you move to the UK in 2024 and would you course start in September in 2027?

Thanks, Drew

Hey, I’m 17. My nationality is Bangladeshi. I’m in a dependent visa. I moved in June 2024. And yes my course starts in September 2027.

Normally, to be eligible for funding you need to have Indefinite Leave to Remain or Settled Status. Do you expect to get either of these soon?

If not, do you have any UK or EU family members living in the UK at the moment?

Thanks, Graeme

My father is expecting to get it in July/august 2027.

Hi eerza, as neither you nor your father would currently hold the required valid status at the start of the academic year start. You would not be eligible for home student funding. Stephen.
