Based on what you have advised then you should be eligible for funding for a new course, but not for any further repeats. If your new course is starting September 2026, applications don't open till 23rd March. Will you be finishing this year or withdrawing?

Thanks,
Claire

We can't confirm for definite if you were eligible till you have made an application, and assessor can review it. This is why we advise you should be eligible, based on our guidelines and on what you have advised us.

Keep eye on our website and social media channels for the application opening for 26/27 academic year and apply as soon as they do. Applications can take 6-8 weeks to process once we have everything.

Thanks,
Claire
