Funding

What funding might I receive?

We hold UK funding rules in a database an administrator can update — including the change to the Lifelong Learning Entitlement for courses starting on or after 1 January 2027.

Other support you can apply for

What affects your entitlement

  • Residency and immigration status. British and Irish citizens, settled status, refugees and people with humanitarian protection are treated differently from pre-settled status and other leave.
  • Course level and start date. The programme that applies depends on when your course starts, not when you apply.
  • Previous study and previous funding. Years already funded reduce what remains. We flag this for assessment instead of guessing.
  • Household income and where you live. Maintenance support is tapered by income and depends on whether you live at home, away, or in London.
  • Children and dependants. Additional grants may apply, including childcare support.
