Student Finance Support
So you have found your ideal course at your perfect University? That's great!
However, if you are unable to fund your studies, your UK dream is unlikely to become reality. If you are confused about Student Finance and the options available, don't worry!
Here at Goldman Education UK, our experts ensure that we can always entirely up to date with the latest information regarding Student Finance, so that we can always provide you with the highest quality and credible guidance.
We will work with you to understand what financial support you might be entitled to and we won't rest until you get it.
Great, but what is student finance?
All UK Universities charge an annual fee for their courses. When you consider this and the cost of study materials, food, transport and accommodation, you will quickly realize that you need a robust financial plan in place to support your studies.
If you are an EU citizen, you may be able to apply for Student Finance, which is money you borrow from the UK government to pay for your education. Since it is a loan, you have to pay it back once you graduate, but the size of repayments is based on what you earn, not on the initial sum borrwed.
How much can I borrow?
Our job here is to answer this question. First of all, we will need to ascertain if you are eligible. EU international students can apply if they meet the following criteria.
-
The University or College you want to attend must be a recognized institution.
-
You must aim to complete at least 25% of your entire course module per year.
-
You will be working towards your first higher education qualification.
If we decide that you are eligible, we will guide you through the steps of applying for a tuition fee loan. If you are coming to the UK from a country outside of the EU, we will work with you to see if you qualify for financial help from your own country.
What about scholarships?
We can help you to apply for a scholarship to fund your studies here in the UK. Scholarships are set by individual institutions and are awarded to candidates who demonstrate a strong aptitude in sports or academia or have specific personal circumstances whereby a UK education would improve their lives.
A successful award would see your tuition and maintenance fees partially or wholly written off.
Your background and the type, of course, you apply for all play a role in deciding if you would be accepted.
