I am proud to say that I have been able to assist a student in securing a UK student loan from Student England. This loan is only for tuition. You can not get a maintenance loan. The student is paying for housing and living expenses independently. NOTE:<\/strong> The tuition is paid directly to the university and not to your bank account. Tuition will only be paid if the student is registered with their University. So make sure that you do that once you are able to.<\/p>\n

Here is what the student went through.<\/p>\n

This student applied as a person who has no parental financial support. (If you submit with parental support, they will ask for the parents details. Then they will ask the parent to make a profile and submit details about their financial situation.) When filling in the address, the student wrote Montserrat and how many years they were living there. Once submitted the student received this email from Student England.<\/p>\n

Evidence needed for your student finance application.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for your application for student finance. To get student finance you need to have been ordinarily resident in the UK for 3 years before the first day of the first academic year of your course.
