Student Services

Most EU nationals are eligible to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan only. If you are not an EU national but there is an EU national in your family, you might still qualify for a Tuition Fee Loan.

However, some EU nationals can also apply for the maintenance loan (living costs) element of UK Student Finance.

If you are employed or self-employed, you can be eligible as a worker. Please see the UKCISA website for more information on who is a worker and what counts as work and self-employment.

You should be working at least 10 hours per week for SFE to consider you/your family member as an EEA/Swiss Migrant worker. However, if you/they are working less hours you might still be eligible depending on the reasons for the lower working hours, for instance temporary illness.
