UK Citizens
Settled status puts you on the same footing as a UK student — home fees, full student finance and every bursary you qualify for.
Tuition fee loan
Covers course fees up to £9,250 a year, paid directly to your university.
Maintenance loan
Living cost support paid to you each term, based on household income and where you study.
Bursaries & grants
Non-repayable university bursaries for care leavers, refugees and low-income households.
Hardship funds
Emergency support during your course when circumstances change unexpectedly.
- Your entitlement
Same fees, same funding, same choices
Settled status is permanent residence under the EU Settlement Scheme. For university purposes that means home fee status and complete access to student finance — including maintenance, bursaries and hardship funds during your course.
The remaining risk is administrative: an admissions team asking for an outdated paper document, or a finance assessor querying a share code. We handle both.
