Published on 13 May 13
If you're returning next year and need a student loan, you don't have long left to apply
To ensure you get your student loan at the start of the year, you need to apply as soon as possible. Full-time and part-time students can apply online to Student Finance England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland for help including Tuition Fee Loans, Maintenance Loans and Maintenance Grants.
