Who is eligible for support?

 
To qualify, you must be planning to undertake one of the folllowing:

  • full-time course of higher education
  • part-time course of initial teacher training (ITT)
  • full-time postgraduate ITT course
  • flexible postgraduate ITT course.
You may also apply for assistance if you have been living in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for the three years immediately before the start of the academic year in which the course begins.

To be eligible you must:

  • have been ordinarily resident in the UK for at least three years before the start of your course (for purposes other than education)
  • have 'settled status' in the UK. This means that there is no restriction on the period for which you may remain (for example, you might have an endorsement in your passport or travel documents giving you leave to enter or remain in the UK for an indefinite period).
