Overview
You may be able to borrow money to help pay for university or college tuition fees and to help with living costs.
You might get extra money on top of this, for example if youâre on a low income, are disabled or have children.
If youâre a continuing student or youâve already created an account, log in to your account.
Before you apply
You start repaying once you earn over a certain amount. The size of your monthly repayments will depend on how much you earn, not what you owe.
Youâll be charged interest on the loan from the day you take it out. The terms and conditions can change.
The rules are different if your course started before September 2012.
Read the student finance privacy notice to find out how the information you provide will be used.

If youâre under 25 and have no contact with your parents, you might be able to apply as an âestranged studentâ.
Thereâs a different process if youâre a student from Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Contact the education authority if you live in the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey) or Isle of Man.
You can give someone permission to act on your behalf (for example using Power of Attorney) if you want them to apply for you.
