Full time undergraduate students in Wales are being
encouraged to apply for student finance as soon as possible
to ensure their finances are in place for the new academic
year.
That’s the message from the Student Loans Company (SLC)
which has ensured that the application service has remained
open to students as part of its response to the COVID-19
pandemic.
SLC is prompting continuing students to reapply for their
next year’s student finance as soon as they can. New
students are being urged to submit their applications; they
don’t need a confirmed place on a course to apply, they can
use their first choice of course and update their
application later if this changes.
The easiest way to apply is online at www.studentfinancewales.co.uk and
SLC has produced the following guide and video to help with
the process: guide
There is also a dedicated resource for parents and partners
who are supporting applications at www.studentfinancewales.co.uk/parents-and-partners.aspx
Derek Ross, SLC’s Executive Director of Operations said:
“We recognise that students will have much to consider at
the moment. However, for those going to University this
autumn, it is important that they make applying for student
finance a priority. SLC has worked hard to ensure the
continuity of the application service throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic and the message is still that students
should get their applications in ASAP to ensure that their
student finance is in place for the new academic year.”
This information is designed to help new students and their
parents find out everything they need to know about the
application process. Students can also follow SFW
at facebook/SFWales, twitter.com/SF_Wales or youtube/SFWFILM to
keep up with all the latest news alerts.
