SLC is continuing to support students, universities and
colleges and we will be providing further relevant updates
here.
Will I still get my next student finance payment?
SLC can confirm that students will receive their scheduled
or next instalment of their maintenance loan at the planned
start of their summer term, regardless of whether their
university or provider has made alternative arrangements
for teaching.
Can I still apply for student finance?
If you’re studying at the moment or you’ll be starting a
full-time, undergraduate course after 1 August 2020, you
can apply online for student finance as normal.
Postgraduate and part-time, undergraduate student finance
applications for academic year 2020 to 2021 are scheduled
to launch in June. If this changes, we’ll let you know
through our social media channels.
Will you still take student loan repayments if I can’t work
due to Coronavirus?
It’s important to remember that you’ll only make repayments
to your student loan once you’re earning over the repayment
threshold for your repayment plan
type. This means that if you stop working, or your
income drops below the threshold, your repayments will stop
too.
Find out about the repayment thresholds for Plan
1, Plan
2 and Postgraduate
Loans.
