Financial Support
Tuition fee loans.
The Tuition Fee Loan is not means-tested; every eligible student can have the full amount to cover the tuition fees they, themselves, are charged, regardless of family income. So if the university levies an annual fee of £3,225 (£3,145 in 2008; £3,290 in 2010) for your particular course then you can have a Tuition Fee Loan for £3,225 (£3,145 in 2008; £3,290 in 2010) to cover it completely. The Tuition Fee Loan is paid direct to the university where you are studying.
The situation for a Welsh resident opting to study at a Welsh university is even better. You would get a repayable Tuition Fee Loan of £1,285 and a non-repayable Tuition Fee Grant of £1,940 to cover the fee and neither of them is means-tested.
For Scots staying in Scotland there are no university fees to pay by you and so there is no need to take out a tuition fee loan.
