Fees for UK national, at English boarding school, parents UK nationals too, but living in India for last 6 years
My son (UK National) is currently studying at a UK boarding school and has been for the last 4 years. He will apply for university in 2019. His parents both of whom are also UK nationals moved for work to India 6 ago. Will my son be eligible for home fees?
Answered by Alison Patterson
Not necessarily, as boarding school is not always classed as residence in the UK. Residence takes precedence over citizenship when deciding fees status. You can read more about eligibility for financial support here:
www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/university-tu.../
Universities decide fee status based on the guidelines, case law and detailed information provided by the applicant. Generally, a university will not make a determination until after an application has been received through UCAS and the offer of a place on academic grounds has been made.
