Student Finance Deadline Reminder - Friday 21 May 2021
Please be aware that the deadline for Student Finance, so that students have loans in place for the start of the Autumn university term, is Friday 21 May 2021.

Applications may be made after this time but loans cannot be guaranteed to be available by the start of term. Students can apply for finance even if they haven't received all of their replies from universities, or if they haven't replied to their offers. Students need to nominate a university but this can be changed at a later date. You can apply for finance here. The “Student Finance” presentation from the March Year 13 parents meet can also be found here. This should answer any questions you have about which loans are available, how they are calculated and their eventual repayment.
