Student Loans

Loans of £500 a year are available for part time higher education students on low incomes. Eligible students can apply for a loan for each academic year (for up to six years of study).

You will have to pay back your loan when you've finished the course. How much you pay will depend on how much you earn.

Loans are only allowed for certain courses and for students who meet the criteria.

For more details and an application pack, contact your Local Education Authority or phone the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) information line on 0800 731 9133.
