How much student support will I get?
The amount of help you can get depends on where you are studying, where you are living whilst studying, the fees charged by your university or college and your family circumstances.
Some students could get extra financial help, for example:
- single parents
- student parents if they have a partner who is also a student
- students with certain disabilities
- students with caring responsibilities
There are online student finance calculators and tables that show how much student loan you might get, and whether you can get any extra financial help.
- For students in England, visit the gov.uk Student Finance Calculator.
- For students in the North of Ireland, visit NI Direct.
- For students in Scotland, visit the Funding Calculator.
- For students in Wales, visit Student Finance Wales.
