Foundation Degree and BA (Hons)

Fees and Loans

See table below.

Tuition Fee Loan: You can get a loan from the UK Government to cover the cost of your tuition fees whilst you are studying. You start to pay back this student loan after you have left university and you are earning over £25,000 a year.

Living Costs Loan: You can apply for financial support from the Government to help you meet your living costs during your studies, which is known as a Maintenance Loan. Your household income and other circumstances determine the specific financial support that is available to you.

Applying for Student Loans

You must apply online via the Student Finance website .

All full or part-time undergraduate students in the UK have to re-apply for Student Finance each academic year. If you have had a break from Education, you will have to make a new application via Student Finance remembering to add your Customer Reference Number from any previous application.

Disabled Student Allowance

Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) helps to pay for extra costs disabled students may have to pay when studying their course, as a direct result of their disability or specific learning difficulty. For example DSA can help to pay for travel, a non-medical helper, study skills to help, specialist equipment and other course-related costs. DSA is not means-tested.

It is important to know that a University cannot apply for funding directly for the support they provide for students - each individual student has to make their own application.

Who can apply: UK Students who are studying for full or part-time, on an undergraduate or postgraduate course, can apply.

When to apply: You should apply for DSA at the same time as you apply for your student finances.

How to apply: You should submit your application for student finance as usual, making sure to tick the relevant box on the form relating to disability. You should then download the additional Student Finance Form, fill it in and send it with all the required evidence for the attention of: DSA Assessment Team (always keep a photocopy of your form and any evidence, and send Recorded Delivery).

It would be very helpful for you to give Chickenshed a copy of this form too and keep us updated on the progress of your application.
