Apply early to make sure your September payments arrive on time.

Why should you apply now?
Submitting your application as soon as possible is the best way to make sure your first maintenance payment arrives on time in September. Student Loans Company (SLC) assessments can take longer during busy periods, and late applications often lead to delayed payments at the start of term.
Applying early can help you minimise delays and give you peace of mind over the summer.
Who needs to apply?
- Continuing UK home undergraduate students
- Students progressing to the next year of their course
- Students returning after an approved break
How to apply?
Reapply online through your usual student finance provider. Most continuing students only need to update their details, so it’s quick and straightforward.
