ILR holder university admission with full financial support

Indefinite leave to remain gives you the same route to university as any UK student — provided your fee status and residency evidence are presented correctly.

✓ Home fee status ✓ Tuition fee loan ✓ Maintenance loan ✓ Postgraduate loans

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.

What ILR actually entitles you to

Indefinite leave to remain is settled status in UK law. With three years of ordinary residence before your course begins, you qualify for home fees and the full student finance package — the same terms as a UK citizen.

The problem is rarely eligibility. It is evidence: gaps in address history, missing Home Office correspondence, or an admissions officer applying the wrong rule.

ILR funding questions, answered

Can refugees get student finance in the UK?

There is no catch. Wilor Education is paid directly by universities for each student we successfully enrol. This means our expert guidance, from eligibility check to enrolment day, is 100% free to you. No hidden charges, no service fees, ever.

I have ILR — do I pay international fees?

Indefinite leave to remain usually gives home-fee status after the required residency period. Many universities misclassify applicants, and we challenge that on your behalf.

Does pre-settled status qualify for student finance?

Pre-settled status students can often access tuition fee loans and sometimes maintenance support depending on residency history. We check your exact route.

How much does Wilor Education charge?

Your first consultation and eligibility check are free. Any support package is agreed in writing before we begin.
